I'm powering polk 6.5 components in the front doors. Could I use this amp to power this sub in the trunk Pioneer TS-SW841D 8 In. Shallow-Mount?

Yes you can. You can "bridge" the two rear Chanel's together for about 150 watts. On a hot summer day if you have the gain up to high the amp will go into protection mode until it cools down.

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.

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

In a simple answer, no it won't. Mine was less power than needed for two budget coax 6 inch door speakers. To get any thump look for the higher powered name brands, in either single channel, or dual channels you can bridge. 2ohms will take a good bit of power to get decent bass. I bought this same rated amp 20 years ago, and it made two 6x9's sound good, and loud. No way I would buy this one again, and I wish I had never bought it. Come to find out it has the same power as the 15-20 year old alpine in my dash, so there was almost NO change in loudness.

No problem with that at all -- I have a fairly-customized setup in my Mazda "6" with two dash speakers (Polk 3.5" crossed over @ 800Hz) and the stock speakers in the door. I route everything under 125Hz to the sub, so the door speakers are mid-bass to low-midrange with the midrange and highs in the dash. The rears are full-range. The Alpine drives all six without a problem (the sub is separately powered.) Note that the amp will drive 2 ohms so a purely-capacitive crossover is ok (6db slope) but you don't get an uprating on power doing that as you do with some other amps.

absolutely I have two of the same subs running off of that very same amp. I have them in a 89 mercury Grand Marquis in a custom-built ported box the takes up the whole trunk when it was built to specs of the subs. For your truck I would suggest a sealed box unless you don't care about having any space left over. But that's just my opinion. Either way you put it, this setup will thunder. Beware hearing damage may occur. Lol

should be powerful enough to drive 2 kicker sub's...not recommended for power hungry sub like sundown and focal or alpine type r's

No this is a 5 channel amp. I ran front door speakers at a 2ohm and rear door speakers at a 2 ohm and 750 watts to 2 12 type s at a 2 ohm. This is a nice amp. But you need to run some 1/0 for power and ground.

Howdy. Yes, that should not be a problem at all. I used it (only one channel) to power a 10" JBL W3 and that thing THUMPED. I can imagine what this would do with a couple of 6.5" speakers. Good luck! LRE

I drove a dual 18" Yamaha sub. As long as your speaker are rated for the power, no problem.

I have two of these with Atrium 6's. The sub can be paired with any speakers, including those that are not manufactured by polk.

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

Although 6o watt is a bit light, it is a powered sub. It is smooth, full without being over boomy. I think it will sound great with your Polks. You can "dial it" to match perfectly.

Wire your speakers normal. But drop the resistance on the sub. It should push it no problem

No problem at all. Also for future reference, say if you have an amp with four and eight ohm binding posts, just wire the 6 ohm speakers to the 8 ohm posts and rock and roll!

This amp will push them nicely. Amp actually pushes closer to 600 watts, better than rated so I would be careful. Your subs wont handle the full 250rms they are rated at continuous

Yes, if you configure your amp to work as a three channel amp only!the first two channels will be your front and rear and your third will be the sub!now, keep in mind that you will not have a lot of base - it will sound loud enough only to you and your passengers - you will not impress anyone with this setup.
