The specs are VX6005
MOSFET Five-Channel Power Amplifier
Max Power (2 Ohms) : 100W X 4 + 300W X 1
RMS Power (4 Ohms) : 50W X 4 + 200W X 1 at 0.04%
Bridged Power (4 Ohms) : 200W X 2 + 300W X 1
Signal-to-Noise Ratio : 102dB
Frequency Response : 20Hz-20kHz
Dimensions : 10-5/8"W x 2-7/16"H x 19-3/4"L

I have 2 subs wired to a 1 ohm with a mono amp and 2 great kappa 6x9's. Can I bridge the 4 ch speaker outputs to both speakers and then add the sub output to my subs because they can handle a little more power? I have 1 postive and 1 negative from the subs in the amp, so can I add the other amp to these subs too? Then bridge the other 4 channels to 2 channels for the speakers 6x9's.
thanks

if those are new kappas, no, they are a 2ohm load, so you can not bridge it, and if those are dual 4 ohm subs, need to run each sub to an 8ohm load then back down to 4ohm. the 5th channel is a sub channel.

You are probably right, but if you did not understand what I was saying then I re-worded it. Can any of you answer this question with the specs that are given?

Can I bridge the 4 ch speaker outputs to both speakers and then add the sub output to my subs because the subs can handle a little more power if the other amp can push it? I have 1 postive and 1 negative from the subs in the subwoofer amp, so can I add the other amp to these subs too? Then can I bridge the other 4 channels to 2 channels for the speakers-6x9's. To sum it up, 4ch to 2 speakers, then the sub channel on the amp going to my subs to add even more power. Also what is the best way to do what I am doing? Should I sell it all and buy a better mono amp and a 2ch amp for the door speakers or bridge the 5ch amp to the 4 speakers and leave the sub amp the way it is without adding more power from the other amp if thats what it would do.

no, what part of that amp can not handle a 2ohm load bridged do you not understand, it can only handle 2ohm on the sub channel, and it can handle 2ohm on stereo mode, all 4 channel being used. and you can not hook up both the sub channel and another amp to get more power to the subs.
