[QUOTE="mwe-maxxowner, post: 8509469, member: 628148"] That came from Crutchfield support. But, it seems apparent that it is not bridgeable. And the wattage from a single channel isn't enough to do much with my sub. I think. From Crutchfield You presented an excellent question. After doing some research on that amp, it looks like channels E-H are wired on a separate harness to accommodate a subwoofer. However, they are only designed to work with select Helix subwoofers ( 10E-D or PP8E-Q). This amp is not designed to accommodate any aftermarket subs though. I completely understand what you are wanting. I wish this amp could do it for you. I do think that the power output of the 5 channel would be able to move the speakers that you have well. The Match amps are certainly a breed of their own. It seems, with a helix amp, it is actually able to use channels e-h to drive a single sub. The truck I'm in now is a 2016 f150 crew cab.
