I have 2 sets of 6x9's, they are 320W peak, and 80W RMS, im looking to power all 4 of them with this amp, will it work??? its a kenwood model # KAC-X301T POWER AMPLIFIER and here are the details
kenwood model # KAC-X301T POWER AMPLIFIER Max Power Output (4 ohm) Normal 200 W x 2 Bridged 800 W x 1 Rated Power Output (+B = 12.0 V) Normal (4 ^) f20 Hz ~ 20 kHz, 0.05 % THD) 75 W x 2 (2 Q) (1 kHz, 0.5 % THD) 150 W x 2 Bridged (4 Q) (1 kHz, 0.5 % THD) 300 W x 1 Rated Power Output (+B -= 14.4 V) Normal (4 Q} (20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.05 % THD) 100 W x 2 (2 a) (1 kHz, 0 5 % THD) 200 W x 2 Bridged (4 Q) (1 kHz, 0.5 % THD) 400 W x 1 Frequency Response (+0, -3 dB) 5 Hz ~ 50 kHz Total Harmonic Distortion (Rated power) NOTE Sensitivity = Mini Through LPF (30 kHz) 0.004 % (1 kHz) Sensitivity (rated output) (MAX.) 0.2 V (MIN.) 5.0V Signal to Noise Ratio 105 dB Input Impedance 10 kOhm Damping Factor More than 200 Low Pass Filter Frequency (18 dB/oct) 50 ~ 200 Hz (variable) High Pass Filter Frequency (12 dB/oct.) 50 ~ 200 Hz (variable)

I'm not finding that amp on their site. Is this an older one, or something from an internet marketer? According to your specs, it's only a 2 channel amp. I would be looking for a 4 channel amp that makes at least 80 watts per channel X4 at 4 ohms.

its an older amp, one of my friends he is willing to give me for a great price, i know 4 channel 80W would be ideal, but this might be the best deal i have right now, couldnt i just piggy back them 2 speakers/channel

Don't buy a 4 by 100 watt amp for the sheer reason of presenting separate loads.
If you do listen to people who give speaker matching advice without knowing what the specs of your speakers really are... at least get one with an input combining feature so you don't have to have rca Y cables just because people want you to have a 4 channel amp to drive a two channel system.
How anyone can predict the life expectancy of your amp without knowing how much resistance the amp is seeing in your specific application is just guessing.
The game changes with every change in speaker impedance.

Ok... if the speakers are 4 ohm you can run them in series, get 200 watt max divided by two speakers equals 100watt max into each 6 by 9.
if you want more amp you can always get a bigger two channel.
I would recommend a four channel amp if all four of your 6 by 9s are NOT matched.
