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)

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.

Yes, I use it to power 4 6x9 infiniti (150rms @ 4 ohm) speakers. Works Perfectly!Rockford has more info here: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/p600x4And, the amp has high level input with Auto Turn-on circuit.Watch the videos on Rockford Fosgate's website for more info.One of the better amps I have listened to. Better than my Alpine 100w x 4 class D amp for sure!Great Sound!

I have mine connected to 4 ohm Polk speakers and it works perfectly. You should not have any problems with 6 ohm speakers. The Motiva is a lot of power for a reasonable price.

Budget wise connect all four speakers to channels 1 & 2 and bridge 3 & 4 for the sub. It would work, but as to get the best performance from your speakers and sub I would have gone with a slightly more powerful amp. If you gots the cash, buy mono block amp cause that makes a difference. I know this amp all too well. Connected things all different ways to test for perfromance.

You want your speakers to be wired into 2 ohms, not 4 in order to get the full 500 watts out of this amp. Otherwise your limited to 300. Let me suggest these speakers, they are what I have and are very impressive with this amp: MTX Audio Terminator Series TNE212D 1,200-Watt Dual 12-Inch Sub Enclosure

Yes... the reason one uses a unit such as this is so that the amp stays happy with all possible combinations of speakers... if you were to use just on-off switches for the controls, you would have a huge impedance mismatch once you had more than 3-4 speakers on... you still be will be limited by the size of your amp and the power needed for each speaker... if you are using this set up for mainly back ground music ... with volumes under "having to yell at each other" ... any reasonable amp will work...

I am using this amp to power four 6x9 speakers. I think this amp will power two 12'' subs. If you want the subs to hit hard and the system to last, I would use a larger amp.

Are these 4 ohm speakers going to be used on the existing head unit? If so..it is not advisable to use 4 ohm speakers unless they are amplified.

This should work wel for your system. The total power of my amp stated on the test sheet was 715amps. It has plenty of power. Turn off the low pass switches to the speakers and get your base from the Sub woofer! I think you will be happy!

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.

Most current amplifiers can handle 6 ohm speakers without problem (though power output will go up, so pay attention to that). It's 4 ohm speakers where you'll start having serious problems - you'll need an amp that explicitly states it supports high current output. Check your amp's user guide - it should have what impedance is supported.

If your amp has a 2 ohm output impedance, it will drive 4 ohm speakers, but you won't be able to attain full dynamic range. I believe this sub comes in a 2 ohm version, just buy that one instead. Or buy 2 4 ohm subs and wire in parallel.

Yes, you can hook two subs up to this amp by wiring them in series. Check crutchfield for wiring diagrams to get the right ohm/impedence level. *Note-although they're listed as being 1ohm stable, don't run it that way. Keep it at a 2-4ohm level and it last and perform very well. Good luck, and I hope you like it!

I don't know much on the specs of the speakers but the amp is rated at 4/2 ohms on the front and rear inputs and the last input is 4/2/1 ohm so I would think it would work great. Just don't turn the gain up too high if your using an aftermarket head unit.

Mr. Garrett - Technically this is a 2-channel Amp. You can easily wire 2 pairs of speakers to it however, and alternate between the two or run them simultaneously. I have run 4 6 ohm speakers this way without issue and it played plenty loud. I imagine you could easily run up to 3-4 pairs of 8 ohm speakers in parallel this way, or more if you ran them in series. But it would be safer to make sure that you used the same speaker if you were going to start hooking up tons of them (because the impedance of each would be about the same)!If you wanted to run multiple speakers off the amp, like the other responder, you could do it, provided that you keep the impedance above the 4 ohm minimum.

I would read the manual. I used to do this for a living and frankly I can count on one hand the number of multi channel amps that I installed that had to have all 4 inputs used. Typically there's a set that you can use as two channel inputs that will provide input to all four channels if you don't have anything plugged into those. And typically these amps that required all four channel inputs were very high end like Zapco, MacIntosh, stuff like that.

I believe if you want to power all 4 speakers you'll need the NCA 40.4 160 Watt Amp (4405-0231)I have both, but the one you have listed above is powering the 2 7" in the lower fairings. You can find all the info you need @ http://www.hogtunes.com/

Hi Tyrus,I think the amp is more than sufficient. Please start at low volume otherwise it may damage the speakers. I have used this amp with a couple of speakers between 300W to 500W and it performs well.Thanks and I hope this helpsFernando
