Default stereo help....

i really dont know much about car stereos.

my question is if i'm runnin 2 12" subs that are 600 watts rms wit dual 2 ohm v.c. would an amp rated at rms power 2 ohm 1500x1 run the subs?

my other question is the front door speakers are 4" and the rear doors are 6 1/2" right? what's the speaker size that are on the rear deck?

one of my rear speaker on the rear deck is blown. should i replace them when i replace my door speakers when i add my subs? i know i need a new hu when i replace my door speakers. the speakers on the rear deck dont have any vocals coming outta them. are they mini subs?

U have 2 Dual Voice Coil Subs right?? Both 2 Ohm??
U have a 1x1500 @ 2omh Amp??

If u run both subs of that amp, u will be running the amp at 1ohm. Make sure it is 1 ohm stable. I would suggest running the subs in Stereo (if the amp is a 2 channel, not a monoblock - which u didn't state) therefore running the amp at 2ohm. If the amp IS 1 ohm stable. Do it!!!

Otherwise u could run them in Series. 2 + 2 Ohm subs will run the amp at 4 ohm.

Can't help u with speakers, pretty sure rear deck is 6.5" though.

Hope this helps some.
