Loaded my MTs with PD123er and P-Audio BM-D750 2”

As they are BI amp? Would I need to power them with an amp EACH! Or I believe I could run them of 1 amp if I was to run it all in 4ohm, but the compressions are not meant to be run in 4ohms I believe? Any help would be great, also suggestions in some amps that would be good for me to use :) 

Thanks

Yes, you need 2 channels of amplification and processing (crossover, eq, time alinement)

If you have a passive crossover you can run them from 1 channel of amplification.

You will need a crossover of some sort or you will blow your compression driver.

You need a Amp for the 12" and one for the 2". Simple as that :)

Unless you go mono and link your MT121 together. Then you can run the 12" of one channel and the 2" of the other channel.

I've used mt121s for many years.

If on budget, suggest you get,

Used dbmark dp28 LMS,
Used QSC PLX3402 for driving 12s,
Used QSC PLX1602 for driving 2" Compression drivers.

Those amps comfortably drive of the above  2-3x drivers per channel, and QSC 1602 is class AB, which means nicer sound.
