To be more specific, what I have is a Boston gt2125. Wanting to run a pair of Skar components up front and a pair of Skar coaxials in the rear. All 4 ohms of course. Specs for amp on page 3 of the link. 

 

Looking to maximize power output to somewhat keep up with either 2 12’s or a 15 on a 4k.

Is there a way to wire them mono to pull the 600 watts from the amp and not stereo at 400? That’s 50% more power and what I’m trying to achieve.

Personally, I run Boston drivers over Skar drivers any day. Just Saying 

also, dropping ohm loads on a class a/b amplifier will not make more power, just limit your tuning capabilities.

you need to run the components on the front channels and the coax drivers on the rear channels.

I prefer the Boston’s too. I had been running some Skar pa’s on a Boston 4100 and they were crazy loud, only so much sq of course. I will take your advice and run them both stereo on each channel. Thanks.

If I'm correct, the OP is asking a question that I've also been wondering. No trying to take over OP's post, but here you go.

My amp Hifonics BRX 5000.5
4 ohm - 60 x 4 +475
2 ohm - 120 x 4 + 750
1 ohm - CH5: 1000 x 1
Mono Bridge @ 4 ohms - 240 x 2

My subwoofers (2 x DS18 Z10 Elite) are wired at 1 ohm. 

Speakers - 
Front - JBL GTO939 
Rear - JBL GX963
Dash - Rockford Fosgate P132

*5 Channel Amp
Each channel will be identified w/a letter. From left to right - A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H & the 5th channel is for the sub.

This is what my little mind refuses to understand.

Is it possible to use the amps full potential and push 120 x 4 or 240 x 2? If so, common sense tells me my only choice is 240 x 2 Bridged. Is that correct? If yes, for the 1st 4 channels. my wiring will have the 2 positives in one channel (A) and the 2 negatives in one channel (D). Next up would be the 4 remaining channels, which I'd basically do the same as i did previously. both positives wired to channel (E) and both negatives wired to channel (H).

Am I correct, or does this comment have you shaking your head??? lol
