what do you mean nominal 4 ohm for the woofer and 4 for the tweeter? If so ill wire em to an 8 ohm load and give em 75 rms a piece cause im sure they couldnt handle 225 at a 2 ohm load lol

I mean the entire component system is considered a 4 ohm system (b/c 4 is the lowest overall impedance in the set, tweeter may be 8 ohms but if so it won't damage your amplifier). Anyway, you can't wire an 8 ohm load with a 4 ohm component system. The impedance is determined by the drivers and you can't modify that.

150W RMS is fine for them.

Jeremy, I'll keep you updated on it if she decides to sell.
