im not totaly positive...but its a monoblock amp..so im prett sure u cannot run speakers on it..just subs..thats pretty dam powerful tho..if money isnt an issue get a jl audio 1000/1 amp..and that can power a huge amount of subs ..any combo of 1.5 ohms -4 ohms...only amp that can do this..and jl audio is one of the best. then just buy a smaller amp for your speakers..u dont need as much powerin the speakers as in the subs..and for hooking it up..get it professionaly installed

Yea like blaine westropp says this is a mono amp and while you could run your speakers from it they would become mono speakers and not stereo. If you are going to get a good sub amp you don't want to sacrifice sound quality by having your other speakers running off the mono amp. Either get a single stereo amp with at least 4 channels - one and two connect to the speakers and bridge channels 3 and 4 for the sub or buy two separate amps - one mono for the sub and one stereo (and smaller) one for the other speakers.

You can't run full range speakers off of that amp. That amp is class D, need class A/B to run comps/coaxials. Full range speakers wouldn't handle that amount of power either.
You could run 2 SXs off of that amp, as long as you can handle yourself with not maxing out the volume.

Also, assuming that amp actually puts out that power. What company/model is that amp? All I can read on it is Earthquake.

$1600 amp msrp, and went to website no info on volts tested at or number and fuse ratings on amp. alot to be considered unless your getting that amp dirt chep or off the back of a truck. i am a firm believer of no name product, but must have some stats to help back it up.
