Question 1

Can i run 6 4ohm 6.5 and 1 2ohm sub

Accepted Answer

I believe you could put a couple of the 4ohm in parallel and have a 2ohm load. For stereo you would do 2 lefts together and 2 rights together. You would have to play with the controls on the amp to get the volume balanced. I'd study the controls on it before you buy it. Normally with this amp you would drive 2 channels from your receiver and use this for the other 5.

Question 2

Or should i get a wetsound htx-4 for my boat? Cant decide

Accepted Answer

Sound is amazing on my boat. 10” sub and 4 6.5 this amp drives them perfect. Only complaint is is runs really hot.

Question 3

what wiring kit should i get for this amp in a boat? will it hook up to a sony cdx-gt270mp?

Accepted Answer

I used the boss 8 gauge wiring kit found here on Amazon. The manual recommended 4 gauge but this amp will carry the 8 gauge just fine with no problems. Also yes the Sony cdx-gt270mp will work just fine. If you have just 2 speakers and a sub just run the pre out cables ( red = right, white =left) to either the A or B channel on the amp. Make sure you run your speakers to the corresponding speaker inputs to match channel you used. Since your receiver don't have a sub pre out the amp will automatically power your subs too off whatever channel you used to power the regular speakers. Just make your your sub is hooked up to its corresponding speaker input and switch on amp is in the A/B position and not Sub position. If you are running 4 speakers and a sub then you will need 2  y splitters ( 1 male to 2 females) to convert the 2 pre outs coming from your receiver from 2  pre outs to 4 and then run 2 to the A channel and 2 to the B channel. Run speakers to corresponding speaker inputs as shown in diagram. Amp will still power your subwoofer as stated above. You don't need a pre out for sub. Once again just make sure you hook sub up to corrosponding speaker input and make sure switch on amp is switched to A/B instead of Sub. Diagram that comes with amp is very easy to understand. Any other questions just ask.

Question 4

Can i run the sub at 4ohms and the rest of speakers at 2ohms or will that ruin the amp? I only have a dual 2ohm sub and 4 front and 4 rear speakers.

Accepted Answer

Not in the way you think you can.  If I understand you clearly, you have a sub that has a "dual" 2 ohm voice coil.  This sub would typically have two leads running to it to provide power.  This Amp only has a single lead at 300 watts.  You safest bet is to purchase a new sub.  I like the Rockford Fostgate P1s and they are cheap on here.  (well under 100 bucks) This is a great amp that provides very clean power.  You other option is to purchase a separate amp is run two channels to your current sub.
