I was looking at Orion P6.2 components, was wondering how good they are... also it says they are 3-ohm.. how do u wire this? They are rated 100 RMS... is that 100 each or for both?

100RMS for each speaker.

3ohms is just how the amp sees it.

Essentially, you just pick a known power output rating, then apply this formula:

A/B*C

A=Known ohm rating
B=New ohm rating
C=Wattage output at known ohm rating

For example, here's how you measure what the amp will be giving them: Say it puts out 100watts @2ohms and you want to find out what it will put out at 3 ohms. You take 2/3*100 and the speakers will be getting 66 watts. If it were 100watts @4ohms, 4/3*100 and the speakers would be getting 133 watts.

The tweets suck major. The woofer part is ok if you have well deadened doors and make sure you can even fit it. The are oversized and pretty deep. I think depth wise is 2.5 or 2.75. I didnt like mine cause the tweet was very harsh and undetailed and the mid was not dynamic enough for me. And they need more than 100rms more like 150rms. I had 200rms on them in my Galant.
