Hi I have recently purchased this product and would like to know how (for best preformance) should connect 2 350w rms subs and 4 6.5” 250w rms speakers please as the manual only shows two setups and this isn’t one of them. Thankyou in advance. Really looking forward to firing it up.
Yes, the unit is capable of 6 x 250watts and 2 x 500watts for subs.
I would like to connect 6 - 6.5" speakers and 1 - dual 4ohm 10" subwoofer. Can I use channels 7/8 together for the sub? What would be the power ratings in the configuration?
6 x 100 and then 2 x 100 totaling 200 for the sub?
6 x 100W + 2 x 250W RMS @ 4 Ohms
It was working for a while now the lights on the front light up sometimes or go on and off but can’t connect and play music. The green power light turn on. On the side.
Have you got a headunit connected to the Amp?
Make sure to check all cable connnections if all are sevcurely connected

Best To Avoid
"Update : sellers kindly refunded my money so Kudos to them As a pro Audio technician of over 40 years I thought I'd give this amp a shot, big mistake, after spending hours making up brackets and then fitting in the boats 3 x 3 under helm area, all was a waste of time. Normally i bench test amps before installing but with 8 speakers to attach that wasn't an option. After finishing the install channel 3 had no output whatsoever. So take it all out and against my better judgement i ask for a replacement. Another big mistake, second one arrives in once again a less than new box with the main fuse bent over. Fit that and hey presto channels 1 & 2 have hardly any output. The amp is huge, heavy and has the most ridiculous non closed mounting holes. the unit is not stereo as all inputs are just one sided channel, a test on all configurations shows its mono. So then on returning two amps no instant refund which can take up to 30 days and there's no way of mounting these amps without scratching the paint surface. So a total waste of time and effort and no refund to use to buy something else. Seriously stick with Rockville, Skar, NVX or a good name brand as I'd hate anyone to waste time and effort like I did. additionally, the waterproof rating on these is the worst, not that it appears it needs water to fail."

Waste of money
"This amp was super nice and fit my needs but when I took my boat out of storage the amp wouldn't power up or put any sound out. My fuses were all ok and even tried with a different head unit. One month out of warranty and they won't cover it. Waste of money. There called Pyle for a reason I guess."

Great sound and performance
"Great sound and performance. The connections and mounting are not the best, but otherwise a great amp at a great price."

This amp makes no sense!
"First thing to mention is this amp is huge! I don't know what I was expecting but when this thing arrived I was shocked! I bought it for my boat which doesn't have alot of room, so that was my first concern. It was/is a good price for an amp that size, but good luck trying to figure it out. My boat head unit has rca outputs (front, rear, zone, and sub) also, I have 6 - 6. 5"""

Product return experience
"Purchased this Amp and installed it in my boat the fall of 2018. I was rebuilding a boat and noticed the sound out of one side was always louder. I figured this was something to do with the old wiring. This spring I purchased new speakers and wires and reinstalled it. Same issue. So now I test the amp and find it's not putting out the same power per channel. I did the online Q+A and Pyle asked I send it back for repair. 8 months in, with a 1 year warranty. So I paid the freight and shipped it. So far they have said they have repaired the item,( about 2 weeks for a response) and then charged me to ship it back. I would think if a company made something wrong, and needed to repair their problem, they wouldn't charge the consumer to ship it back. I will comment back if the unit doesn't work again."
