Be able to handle 4X passive Gemini 3250? And would you be able to plug all those speakers into this powered mixer I'm not to sure on the whole wattage thing.

It would work and it would make sound on the cheep but that is the quality of the sound you would get. Do you already own those speakers? Let us know and we can suggest a better combo for about the same price as all that combined.

I highly doubt that amp goes down to two ohms.
You need an amp that puts out 1400 watts RMS @ 2 oms to properly power them.

A QSC PLX3102 power amp fits that bill, but that's a $1,060 amp.

But even if you do get an amp that can adequately power them, they will still have pretty low quality sound.
You will be a lot better off if you get rid of those four speakers.

I advice to save more money and invest in a decent active speakerset.

This. I would go powered all day long for mobile applications. Even the Mackie SRM450 is completely adequate at $300-$400 used for one. I've seen pairs go for $650 used. They're great entry level pieces of kit for your system. If you want to go really cheap you can look into the Peavey and Behringer stuff. You can probably get a 212 or something for like $200 used.
