Just got Infinity Kappa's 6x9/4x10 need HELP

Ok i just got the Infinity kappa 6X9 (3 way)loudspeaker pair (110 Rms)
and the Inifinity Kappa 4X10 loudspeaker pair (60 Rms)

obviously i need an AMP
im probably going to get the POLK MOMO 4 channel amp which

here are the specs on the amp

Channels 4/3/2 bridgeable
Total Dynamic Power (all ch. driven) 975 watts
14.4 Volts RMS Not Bridged @ 1kHz
4 Ohms 75 watts x 4
2 Ohms 100 watts x 4
14.4 Volts RMS Bridged
4 Ohms 200 watts x 2


My question is..

i opened the speakers and it looks like the 6X9's are dual voice coil, meaning they are going to be 2ohms right?
the 4x10's im guessing are not dual voice coil so they are 4 ohms, now... how do i set this up on the amp to get the best sound??

if i set it up will the 6x9's get 100 watts?
and the 4x10's be getting 75 since they are 4 ohms?
im not sure how this works when one pair is 2 ohms and one is 4 ohms..

thanks in advance!!!!

Whats the 4x10 for?
The 6x9 should be SVC at 4ohm. Just give each speaker its own channel.

4X6's my bad..
i think the 6X9's are dual voice coil , which means when run together they will be 2 ohm....

I doubt they are DVC unless they specifically say they are. Why do you think they are?

because there are 2 sets of outputs on the speakers
2 pos and 2 neg, and in the box it comes with something to connect them, that leads to a small box, then out to a single pos and neg...

I know what your talking about. I've seen it before, they are bi-ampable rather then DVC. Rather then mounting the xover network on the speakers, the box is the crossover. Think of the 6x9 as a component set with the tweeter and mid mounted together, and the box a xover. So you should be at 4ohms.
