What are the ohms of the speakers?

If I was you I would just get a 5 channel amp.

I already bought the amp, its the fostgate p450.4. I dont know how many ohms my stock speakers.

what kind of speakers...

i'll assume 4 reugular (coaxial's) and a sub... seeing as how you already got the amp... either sell it or get a mono amp...

another option... find out the ohm ratings of the speakers... if they're 4 ohm... and all the same power rating, and you amp can handle 2 ohms... you can run them in parallel to two channels of the amp. then if the amp supports bridging... bridge the other two channels and run the sub off that... problem is you have no fading capabilities... so you're hoing the fronts and rears sound good at the same power...

good luck

Dennis, thanks for the advice. Im not really planning on keeping the stock speakers, I just want a decent sound right now while saving money to get better speakers. I do have a older fostgate 250.2 ( the one with the choppy cover) Im not sure if its still working though.
