can i power 2 6" speakers and a subwoofer? If so... What's a good subwoofer to go with? I think my 2 fosgate 6" rear speakers are 80 watts each.

Yes you can. You would wire the two 6" to the front channels and the sub would be wired to the two rear channels but in a bridged fashion. The polk manual should show you how the wires should be run the be bridged properly with that particular amp. As far as sub goes I have a polk DXI 12 in one of the polk ported boxes they come with powered the same way and it sounds great. It won't shake the neighbor hood but provides very good low fill.

Dear Steven, three questions to you would be: 1. Will you use a sub-woofer and a center speaker?2. Will you do this and also add two Pioneer speakers for the rear, and 3. will you only use the Pioneers for the front? Actually, all three cases will be fine, if you have more than twenty watts power or so for the fronts and not too many sound absorbing rugs and window curtains. I have found the two Pioneer speakers to do very well with movie dialogue when I got rid (!!!) of my 5.1 receiver!!! I actually enjoy my movies as stereo! What objections this will raise from some! Yours, Churchorganist. Dear Steven, three questions to you would be: 1. Will you use a sub-woofer and a center speaker?2.

Yes I'm running 2 69 and set of mid and tweets up front and 2 10 inch subs at 2 ohms no problem. Sounds great speakers are 80 watts and 150 watt subs

I hooked two (2) 6x9s and one (1) sub woofer to my amp. Keep in mind that my amp is a P400x4 however, I think they group the P600 and P400 together.

Obviously, it's not necessary, but I would highly recommend it. Even an inexpensive powered sub with a 10" woofer adds so much bottom end (25-80Hz) that you just can't get from a 6.5" cone. Take a look at the "Yamaha YST-SW216BL Subwoofer" for $117 and free shipping. If your amp has a subwoofer line out, put it to good use with a 10" or 12" powered sub. Pro Tip: Avoid the rookie mistake of turning the sub volume up too loud... a good sub should never really be noticed until it isn't there anymore and you're like "wow, it sounds so weak now!". :)

This speaker system is an excellent buy for the price and it would definitely solve you problem. The sub has it's own amp for power and has output for (i think) 2 speakers but I did not use this because I had receiver. I would recommend using the speakers with a receiver for best results.

This amp will rock for what you have planned. You should be able to run 2 bookshelf 6" speakers no problem.

I was advised by my stereo guy that this amp was good for (1) sub.... which I have. I have a 300watt "Total" subwoofer (JBL sub-class). Works great for my setup. Yours...... maybe not. I would suggest a dual output amp to run each subwoofer. I believe this amp is a single output. Hope this helps...

It looks as if this amp is only 600 watts. I would go with a 2000 watt amp for 2 of the subs. I even had a Kenwood 1200 watt amp pushing just one.

I need to clarify something on my last answer... There are no built in subs in these speakers. They have dual 6.5 inch ported woofers. The low end sound they produce are more than adequate for my needs. If you choose to add a separate sub to your system, I feel you won't need much as this model of speaker carries the low end quite well

The Fosgate has a 400 Watt peek and after you do the math of the RMS it totals up to 380 RMS but, I'm sure the max watts of each of your speaker should be high the RMS you specified. I don't know which speakers you have plus, how you plan to connect 6 speaker on amp that has 4 channels. It make a big difference and you're not giving enough information to give you the proper answer.

Humm... may be not. I use one 8" Kicker with a 500 W amp. Good sound, no overcharges, no distortion, no overheating. I think you could use that amp if you don't want to have your subwoofers to max power. If you need power bass I guess your amp won't be able to manage the peaks.

Yea that's basically it, we used 12 gauge monster cables but just make sure to measure so that you'll have enough cable to set up all the speakers because the first time we bought the cables we didn't have enough for the rear left speaker.... And I agree with JR, you should buy a subwoofer :}

Your amplifier needs to output the two additional rear channels, over 5.1. In addition, you need two more speakers for the rear. Thus your speakers are: center, front left and right, side left and right, rear left and right, and the subwoofer.

I have a single woofer in my install. No that is too much power for a single. With a double you may be fine. I put 200 watts to my woofer and it sounds great.

Bryce, I run a planet audio 2600 watt amp on my two 10" subs and its plenty of power. I know multiple people who have had great luck with planet audio so far and they're inexpensive.
