Is this amp comparable to the specs of the wetsounds HT6 amp? Powering 6 speakers, plus a sub eventually.

i think this one puts out a little more the two sub channels put out 250 rms each or 500 rms bridged on one sub just make sure to let the amp get some air if you push it hard like i do it will burn its self out from the heat i already done this with one of these amps but for the price you cant beat this amp

I would stay away from this amp. 2 of the channels don't even work and gets hot. just bought Rockford fosgate marine amp M600 4D. going to replace

We have cobalt 220 2005 which we bought in 08, and the stereo it came with was junk. the receiver was half the price of others, and had some good and bad reviews. We also bought new speakers and sub - and couldn't be happier with everthing. Night and day difference from what we had before. I'm not a stereo guy, but my brother-in-law is and works as a mechanic at a boat shop. He and buddy installed everthing, and it took them 3hrs-ish. i've asked him to comment on your question, and will forward to you if he does. I have no clue on the westounds HT6 amp

This is the second time I have purchased one of these amps. We bought a newer boat and put this amp in as we had done on our older boat. Have never had any problems. It's pushing 4 kicker tower speakers, 4 interior speakers and one 10" kicker sub "bridged off of channel 5 and 6". No problems.

Marc, I don't know the specs of the Wetsounds HT6 you've referred to. I'm powering (4) 6x9 3-way Polk Audio speakers with (1) channel each and a 10" Polk Audio sub with the remaining (2) channels bridged together. So far it kicks hard, (classic rock, blues & jazz)actually way more power than I need in a 22' Scarab. The only thing I don't like so far is the large size & weight of the Pyle. I read mixed reviews about the quality of Pyle amps, but decided to try it since I got it for +/-$160... Happy trails, Mark

Ok, so the sub is 500W RMS and 4 ohms. That means that your amp will be sending it 350W. You will have 300W going to each of the "200W" 8's and 350W going to the sub. It should be fine unless you are over-driving the 8's - on music, there shouldn't be a problem.

The speakers are 600 rms you just cant turn the amp all the way up if you're running a 1400 rms amp. Just buy one more and you will be ok. Nice sounding subs. I have four of them

I am not sure,couldn't find a wattage handling of those subs.I use it to push one 8 inch pyle driver tube sub.If I had two I probably would get a 400-600 watt amp...I have a friend that uses it to push two subs on a ski boat,and it sounds great,of course it doesn't take a whole lotto make boat speakers sound good,but compared to other boats it's better to me...

Yea there will be plenty of power. And you can signal the 6x9s for more bass and low tones and 6.5s for the highs. This is a "4" channel btw haha

This amp is more than sufficient and is actually to powerful. So make sure you keep it turned down to protect your speakers from blowing. I have this amp running 2 15 hifonic brutis speakers and it is still almost to much power. I have a 8 ferit cap and it still makes my lights flicker a little bit when it's really pulling.

A decent match would be any decent amp that is around 1100w if youre getting two subs then get a 2000w amp. I bought two of these and a Pyle 2000w 2 channel amp and it sounds excellent for the price of it all! You should try to avoid getting an amp that is more powerful than your sub's as it is easier to blow them but you can always tune an amp down

I'm not a technical person but I do know I've hooked up three 12s 1200watt subs and it holds up nicely never whimpers out and I've played all kinds of music....hope this helps in your decision

I have the INUKE 6000 and its great! A good rule of thumb it to use double the rms for your specific speaker. It is usually best to use one amp for tops and one amp for subs so you can run in stereo. Hope that helps!

Listen to the other answers. They are all correct.I will only add the following,I matched this amp with these bookshelf speakers (rated at 8ohms 120W)Sony SS-B1000 5-1/4-Inch Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)and the sound is tremendous! Love the amp!

Actually, I got the 8" sub. It says 600 max. peak, 300 RMS. I'm running a 100 watt continuous power source to and it does fine with no distortion. I don't what it would do with 600W. Have my doubts about that.

Well I have it pushing four 6.5 component speakers which is four tweeters and four mid range woofers and two 6x9s and it still seems like it has power to spare. I wired the back two doors with the 6x9s making the ohm rating 2. All of my speakers have 4 ohm ratings. That's the important part. This amp can be wired down to two ohms. Basically if you put two 4 ohm speakers on one channel it becomes 2 ohms. I would say you wont have a problem with this thing. I would say wire the 3.5 and tweeters with your front 2 doors and wire the rear doors with the 6x9s. That is basically my setup minus the 3.5

I used my existing 7 speakers & woofer. You may wish to check that the speakers match this amp. The power or ohms, not sure which. The setup process checks for speakers. I reckon that will just do the right thing b

oh god no. you would ruin your speakers by underpowering them. This amp is for your mid and high speakers. not subwoofers. 6.5"s amd 6x9s are what it is meant for. it does'nt come with a wiring kit, it does come with the line level input adapter. This is for a powered stereo, not a subwoofer setup

Q: can you use this to power 4 6x9 speakers (150rms each at 4ohm) And how would you wire a high level imput into this amp? (stock head unit because they dont make an aftermarket one)A: You can buy the speaker line to RCA adapter to feed your speaker lines into the amp. I used an Audiocontrol LC6i in my setup but not necessary unless you want to add subwoofer and amps.I have a small amp for my speakers and one amp for this sub. 2ohms is how the shop I went to set it up. The amp I got was like $65 and it works great. I've had both for about 1.5-2 years now

The website lists the nominal capacity at 600 watts. I don't know if that is accurate since I don't have the manual that came with mine. Having said that, those numbers are not that important since the companies that make this stuff don't always use the same formula to get their results. What is important is you pair it with a good, clean powered amp. I would recommend you get the most powerful one you can get with the least distortion. Just don't let the speaker clip...sounds like it's popping.

I would stick with manufacturers recommended spec. This amp puts out 475 watts so might be to much for your sub
