hmmm... well some specs would be helpful... if not at least some brand names of speakers and the planned amp. so we can look up the specs ourselves.

but specs will help us let you know exactly what you should do. so get us some information!

ahh ok... do you have crossovers? if not it would probably be a good thing to get.

now according to volfenhag's website. the only four channel amps they have are 1200w and 600w now I'm going to assume this is max ratings which really means nothing. out of the 1200w I'd be surprised to get 600w out of all four channels together. and 300w out of all four channels on the 600w model

the cadences are actually sold as component set. it shows 320w for max power per set and 80 for rms so 160 max per tweeter mid set.

and the tweeter I'm going to assume is the 1000w max rating model. now I'm going to say that you will probably not be seeing max output from this because neither of these amps will push it that hard...

now you may need two amps. because it looks like the amp is stable down to 2 ohms. and running three speakers off one channel you will be well below that and the amps will cry. now that said I'm going to say run the tweeter with the included crossover capacitor in series. that will give you 2 ohms. now I will also say you should probably consider geting the 600w variant of the amps from volfenhag. because otherwise you will likely blow those pretty lil cadences right out of the baskets. and that should put you right around 80 watts out of each channel of the amp.

also you never really said what this setup was going into you just said car. so in assuming its got four doors. and its one set per door utilizing all four channels.

so here is what I'm going to say before somebody else does because someone else is going to be a lot harsher. scrap it. scrap it all... save your money a while longer and get better quality stuff... stuff that actually match. not cheapy stuff that is pieced together with no knowledge. get money together and get something that will be worth your time. because it will be easier hooking up. they will be matched (as far as the speakers) and then find an amp that will suit the speakers. and keep in mind its better to underpower the speakers than it is to overpower.

also take a little time and read through some threads in this forum. get a little bit of an education so you can make an informed decision. believe me you'll thank yourself for it. so please. if you're not going to do it for yourself you will be wasting the lil bit of money you would have invested. even if it is boss or pyle. because its obvious you are trying to go cheap (which I wouldn't recommend either) I'd say watch your local classifieds and jump on deals you find on there. you'll be saving the money you saved up by being able to do a good quality install with better quality component sets that match.

the amps are fine my buddies have used them... they sound good but in this case everything just seems to clash as far as what you want and what the amp is capable of.

so when you get some decent speakers that really match well what is it going into?
