compatability confusion for newbie, yamaha ca-1010


i am setting up a new system, purchased mint ca-1010, rated at 90 watts into 8 ohms, almost double into four etc. i am looking at powering paradigm titans 8 ohms 80 watts, and a passive svs sub 4 ohms 350 watts with it. it has a coupling switch on the back. on or off. i don't understand ohms. is there a swtch or something that determines what the amp puts out4 or 8 or is it the speakers themsevles that determine what they need and take it? will this setup work?

The 'crossover settings' you refer to relate to the tone controls and not to the separation of signals into bass (sub) and main speakers. You need a separate crossover for that.
