    Ok right now I have my Orion 2400d (06' series) running at 2 ohms powering a 600watt subwoofer in my home, it is powered by an 850watt PSU (basically a computer power supply). my current laptop computer speakers are not loud enough to compensate with the bass from the subwoofer. You know what im talking about. I want to wire some speakers along with the subwoofer to this amplifier at 2 ohms....

    The amplifier puts out 1200 watts at 1 ohm, 800 watts at 2 ohms, and 450 watts at 4 ohms.

    Here lies my problem, and is where im confused at... I have a pair of 6x9 kicker speakers(single voice coil 4ohms rated at 70 watts rms), and 1 dual 4 600watt rms subwoofer.

    Is it possible to wire these 2 kicker speakers in parallel along with the subwoofer wired at 2ohm. What will the output be to the sub and the speakers if wired like this? im guessing 400 watts to sub, and 400 to speakers? correct?
    im confused help me... :(

    there are 4 terminals on the output side of the amp like this
    [+][-][+][-].... or whatever

    one +/- to the sub
    and one +/- to speakers wired in parallel..... is it possible?

    I thought that the 2400d has the terminals like this [+][+][-][-]. Anyway the 2400d is a mono sub amp, with a frequency responce around 20-300Hz. So the answer to your question would be No.

    If you think I'm wrong, please post a link to the specs on your amp and I'll look at it.
