Im running my 6 WS650's off of one arc 300.4 with room for another pair in the near future . I run the stereo pretty hard in the summer and it has treated me great so far !

*(I know nothing about stereo stuff)

You say you have room for another pair. Could that space be taken by a sub? Specifically, could this amp power the 6 interior speakers and 1 sub? Not big into stereo stuff. I think the 6 interior and a sub would be the limit for my stereo build. Thanks.

I'm looking to add a sub before spring. prefer 12" sealed box. maybe 15". whats a good sub and sub amp? I may have a JL 12" in my garage somewhere. I'm not looking to win any comps, just want a more complete sound. looking for a good sub amp in the 500 watt range.

@ W.S.

You would be best served with a 5 chnl or 5 chnl amp for driving 3 pair of in-boats and a sub. The amp mentioned above is a 4 chnl.

@ chpthril how would a 5 channel work for 3 pair and a sub?

^^^ 1 Pair on Channel 1&2, 2 pairs on channel 3&4, and the sub on Channel 5

What Russ said. A 5 chnl amp has 4 full range speakers for regular speakers and a dedicated sub chnl.

How do you have it wired up to that amp?

1 speaker on ch 1 @ 4 ohms (series)
1 speaker on ch2 @ 4 ohms (series)
2 speakers on ch3 @ 2 ohms (parallel)
2 speakers on ch4 @ 2 ohms (parallel)

A 5th chAnne would be certainly the subwoofer as the 5th channel on amplifiers are nearly guaranteed to be a low pass class D channel.

Could also do the same thing with a 6 channel amp, just bridge channel 5 and 6 for the sub.
The Wetsounds SYN 6 is a great amp for this as it has basically 2 amps in one. a 4 channel amp as well as a higher powered 2 channel amp In the same chassis.

the problem with the syn 6 is that channels 1-4 are pretty weak by today's standards.

I'd much rather run a JL XD 1000/5 (which is xd400/4 and xd600/1 in 1 chassis). Class D vs class AB and more power than the syn6. And the Syn 6 is also gigantic and not that easy to find a spot for vs the XD.
