Should I run 4 or 8 ohm mids?

I don't think anyone's really "against" it per se, but there's a few reasons it's not really a good idea. The first, and probably most important reason, you can't control each channel's crossovers individually. You can only control them in pairs. This goes for the amp, your head unit, and pretty much any active crossover I can think of. So you would either need to go passive, or find some other way of crossing them.

So let's say you DO find a way to cross them properly. Well now you'll have to go mono instead of stereo. On most songs you won't be able to tell the difference, but there are a few songs that do utilize the left/right channels, and sometimes the effect is actually pretty cool and ends up sounding really nice. I guess this part is up to you, but it's not really the "proper" way to set up a stereo system.

If I were you, I'd just do (2-3) 6.5's and the tweets. Then if sometime down the line, you feel you need more midbass, you can get another amp and add the 8's (or other drivers) in the kicks, or redo your doors.

I was thinking about it over night and you guys made some pretty damn good points. I'll be scrapping my original plan and either going with 2 8" per door or 3-4 6.5" per door.

I left this information out but I already have 4 6.5" 4ohms and 1 8" 8ohms. I'll just have to decide which setup I want

Run the 6.5s and tweeters. What kind of crossovers do you plan on using?
