would any one suggest this for a 5 channel set up? front outputs split to cabin and rear output bridged to 1 powerful 10" or 12"

Amp specs say, 300 watts RMS x 2 bridged at 4 ohms (250 watts RMS x 2 bridged at 2 ohms. Now that's by two channel bridged, not by one. So that's telling me that in bridge mode the amp is not split to run say 4 full range speakers and 1 sub bridged. Sorry, I have to say no. I have seen A/B amps split to run what you want to do, but its been years. Not sure if class D amps are made to do so without being a 5 channel amp or damaging them or tripping into protection mode. You would be better off getting a 5 channel amp or just running a second amp for subwoofers. Sorry, I have to say no can do with this 4 channel.

i am going to to give you my onest opinon about this amp i ran it on two 12s inch rockford fosgates wired down to 4 ohms bridged and it did pretty good for a $60 amp made by pyramid.ok if you decide to use 15s i would sugest you go with the four ch model the pb618 that way you can run it bridged a 15 on the front ch and a 15 on the rear ch that should keep it from over heating and to get the most out of this amp get the xover model no CR73 G and it will work those 15s pretty good but for the 15s i would go ahead and get the pyramid pb 3818 that will get the job done and its only $80 i have two pb 3818 strapped to two 15 pw1586 x and i be setting off alarms 100 feet away check out some of my vidios on you tube the set up is 90% pyramid my ch is masterblaster735 check it out so far i have got noting but thumbs up i hope this help you make the right decision

The extra tweeters should be fed from a crossover from the front channel speakers as a "component" set. The wiring from the head unit wouldn't be affected by this, it'd wire up to the source or the amp as if it's a 4-speaker system.

I've bridged the fronts but I haven't tried bi-amping. I think either would be better for 2 channel music, for 5 channel the speakers are level matched with the audyysey which would negate any extra power anyway. I thought I noticed improvements with bridging especially in the bass response, but since my front speakers are rated at 125 watts I thought I better not push it and went back to a regular connection.

It's a five channel 2front 2rear, and one sub output. It powers my 1200w 12" Kenwood sub and sounds great. I think if you are looking to power 2 subs you might need a different type of amp. But overall the Alpine amp, this series and the next one above are the best. MRX and PDX I believe are the models. Not sure off the top of my head

it is a 5 Channel amp. 4 regular speakers and sub. I have 4 6" component speakers and 1 10" sub. I can't see why you could not do this but it is probably not suggested.

I wouldn't suggest it. There is just not enough power output here to run 2 - 4 ohm cabs. You need a bigger amp that can run bridge mono at 2 ohms if daisy chained or has separate outs for each cab with a higher wattage output. Of course this also depends on what the power handling and needs of each cab is. If its a bass cab then I'm betting its power needs are much higher than this amp can deliver. Call us we can help.

I agree with you, Gio T. Split the two rears to four outputs and run to the 4 channels and run the red and black sub outs to the sub ins of the amp. In intial setup set the pioneer to rear/ sub. This will allow hpf to control your mids and Sub/ ctrl to control the LPF of ur subs

Hmm... I've never come across a question like this before. Well, I suppose you would have too bridge the connections. I'll try to explain as easy as possible... use the positive post from the right channel to the positive post on speaker... and then the negative post from the left channel to the negative post on the speaker. This will "bridge" the two channels to serve as one sound source (in theory) I've done this with car subs but never with home theater components. I would seriously do your research further before you attempt this because I would hate for you to buy a great speaker and something happened to it

I would use a powered sub and connect the rca's on your reciever to it. Most 10" powered subs sound great nowadays.

Well Cody W. I'm not going to be much help on that. I haven't even looked at it. I got the kit to do a dual amp set up in a chevy xcab truck. So I'm sure I would have enough of wire but not sure about a car if it's a 4 door that is. I'm in the process of installing sound deadening though out the whole cab. Sorry couldn't be more help.

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.

Should work great on a Harley but the 2 channel might be better unless you plan on running 4 speakers? 4 channel pushes 4-6x9 speakers with more than enough power!

To get the most out of those speakers I would use this amp, Rockford Fosgate R300X4, in bridged mode. Meaning you bridge the front two channels together and the rear two channels together to get a 2 channel output. I use this amp to drive a pair of Focal 165 AS separates. Its almost 170 watts per channel.

I would consider a bigger amp because of the 2 12's and you need more power. If you bring to 2ohm load then you can power with any 2 channel or mono with sufficient power. Check the power rating of the drivers and will help in your decision. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can use it for a Sub only. It can handle two subs as it is. Or one DVC sub, if you like. I don't think I would try bridging the outputs. But, if you can figure out how to do that, without killing the amp, let me know.

You could wire it that way running some in series and some in parallel if you know what you're doing, but getting good balance might be tricky. For example, you could run 4x6 in series with a 6.5 on each of the two front channels, the 6x9s on the back channels, then run the sub channel bridged with the 8s in series in parallel to the 12s in series. You'd probably be louder and sound better just ditching the 4x6s and 8s though and using the amp like it was meant to be used. I run 4 6.5s and 1 12 and its retardedly loud
