Can you amp all 4 speakers and run 2 of these all on a P600X4? I should get the 2 ohm right?

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

Yes you should if they are dual 4ohm jus run negative to positive cross. Then the open negative and positive to amp. Do this for both subs. Be aware these subs handle 400 watts rms so you will need 800 watts rms or at least 400 watts rms for solid bass

You don't want a 4 channel amp for 2 DVC subs (4 voice coils). Use a mono amp. You control the ohms with the wiring. Rockford Fosgate has a very useful iPhone app. These are dual voice coil subs. Essentially, you have 4 2-Ohm speakers. Two of these subs can be wired to 8, 2, or .5 ohm. You would do better to buy P2D4 subs, which have 4-ohm voice coils. Two of those can be wired to 16, 4, or 1 ohm. ( you want 1 ohm to get the rated output from Fosgate Mono amps) Whatever you do, never feed separate channels to the voice coils of a single sub. Variances in wattage and timing can greatly reduce the life of your speakers. You don't want a 4 channel amp for 2 DVC subs (4 voice coils). Use a mono amp. You control the ohms with the wiring.

I power this sub with a 500 watt max mono kicker amp. These subs can handle more in my opinion so far since I've had it

The speakers come with a book that shows you how to wire them for different ohm loads and I'm sure there are several diagrams avaible online as well but you shouldn't be hooking up subs to a four Chanel amp and not separate the voice coils out like that. I have 4ohm voice could and I believe there are more wireing options with the 4 ohm. I have 4 p2 connected to a one channel amp running at 2 ohms

Yes but you're going to lose stereo. It'll come through the speakers in mono

Theoretically you can run as many speakers as you want as long as the impedance or OHMs do not go above 4 or below 2. How you achieve different impedance's is by how you wire the speakers, parallel (+ to + and - to - ) or series (amp + to first speaker + first speaker - to second speaker + second speaker - to amp -. if you had 2 - 4 ohm speakers wired in parallel you would have 2 ohms of resistance at the amp. same speakers wired in series would have a standing impedance of 8 ohms. I agree with Roosevelt this brand of power Amp is very clean at 4 ohms running it at 2 ohms increases the Total harmonic distortion Theoretically you can run as many speakers as you want as long as the impedance or OHMs do not go above 4 or below 2.

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

Yes it will work fine. If anything going up in ohm ratings is easier and safer than going down. You are taking a 6 ohm rating and going up to 8 which uses less power to drive the speaker. If you were trying to go from 8 ohm rating on the receiver and drive a 4 ohm speaker I might say look out you could cause your amp to switch off from overheating or tripping a fuse. You will be fine and if anything you'll have a little bit more presence from your middle channel now and maybe adjust it down a tad in your setup if it's too much.

I would recommend wiring for 2ohm setup. @ 1ohm it might be pushing the speakers to the limit. Power acoustic amps are inexpensive because they have a lot of distortion so don't Max them out. I'm running 3 @ 2.6 ohms on a hifonics 1500w and they bang!

Thank you for asking. The powered outputs on this are stable down to 4 ohms. As long as the impedance on your speakers is high enough the amp will be ok. If the speakers are rated to the right power they will be safe as well. Have a great day!

You can hook up 4 speakers to the Pyle PTA 1000 amp , but realize that when you hook 2 speakers in parallel to each output, you drop the resistance from 8 to 4 ohms. You have to be careful not to overdrive the amp since 4 ohm will draw twice the power at higher volumes and you could "fry" the amp. You can do this but be careful not to turn the volume up too high. An altenative would be to hook each set of 2 up in series. This doubles the resistance to 16 ohms. Less power, but safer for the amp. Most stereo hifi amps have A and B speaker jacks, but they are hooked in parallel. if you don't try to turn the amp up too loud you should be OK.

Yes. Two each per channel would give you a 4 ohm load per side. You will have to run the amplifier in the stereo mode. That amplifier is stable to 2 ohms. You should have good results.

For that I'll get the 2 Ohm. But you can get the 4 Ohm and Put only 2 ohm later get a 2000 watt amp and put the 4 Ohm I'll do that maybe what you think? Thus that answer your question Alex

It's just 4 Chanel's you'd have to get a 2nd amp to power a sub or give up 2 speakers. I wouldn't recommend a 2nd amp since the 200 watts is just perfect for the 4 midrange speakers. these sound great by the way.

I have a lot head room have using 2 12" pyle speakers. From the other comments you probably don't want to try all 4.

Jonathan, here is some information that might help320W @ 8 Ohms480W @ 4 Ohms700W or 480W Amp Only:¼" speaker outputjacks. Impedances Lower than 4 Ohms should not beused. Higher impedances such as 8 Ohms, 16 Ohms,or No Load are acceptable. One 4 Ohm, one 8 Ohm,or two 8 Ohm cabinets are okay. One 4 Ohm and one8 Ohm together is not recommended. The internalspeakers equal an 8 Ohm load. No damage willresult from operating the amplifier with the speakersdisconnected.

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.

It will not be too much. However, you will need to be sure the amp is 2000w rms not peak. Each speaker is a 1500 watt peak 400 rms. Make sure your amp can output enough to support both.

It's best if you use speakers that can handle the output of the amplifier. Since the manufacture states 2000 watts, I think that they are telling us the that is the output at 2 ohms. I run a Peavey IPR 1600 at 8 ohms and my amplifier will only put out 300 watts per channel at 8 ohms. My amp will put out 560 watts at 4 ohms . It will produce 1600 watts at 2 ohms, however running a power amplifier at 2 ohms is hard on the amplifier. Its best to run speakers that are 8 ohms and you'll have clean and clear sound as loud as the amplifier will produce at 8 ohms. Less wattage clear sound.

I'm running infinity kappa components which are 2 ohm and they work and sound awesome. I do recommend running a solid 4 channel amp but its not required.

I'd leave the selector at 8ohm and run the mix of 6 and 8 ohm speakers. It should be fine. The only way you'd run into a problem is with 4ohm speakers, and in that case you should be using a discrete amplifier.
