Will this amp work speakers and sub?

Im not to experienced in car amplifiers. i was wondering if i could hook this amp up to a 10'' sub and a pair of kenwood 6.5s at the same time. i know this isnt a good quality amp, but i can get it free if i want it. i dont know much about it but i do know my stereo is definately not pleasing me in its current state and i dont want to spend much money on it.

you need to look at the wattage for the amp, sub, and speakers....you could run the speakers on one channel, and the sub on another...but you might be underpowering your sub, while overpowering your speakers....

i have had some experience with pyramid back in the day when i had no idea abotu stereos, this amp could be decent for your sub, but like avove was mentioned check the power, pyramid is rated in peak watts which says that it is not a good amp ( all good amps are rated in RMS, constant power) and check if the amp has a low pass crossover for your sub so you don't blow it or sned voice through your sub or check if your deck has a LPF built in , but i would not run your 6.5's off it aswell, if its a 4 channel amp then this is possible but still not best, so i would get the amp and run your sub of it alone, keep me posted

I would try to go for a little higher quality amp. If you are looking to stay in that price range you could try to find reconditioned or maybe get one from someone reputable on ebay.

You will be much happier with the sound/power if you go with some of the better names. (Rockford, JL, Xtant, MTX, Alpine, US Amps, Audiobahn, MMATs, Orion, Zapco, ect.)
