All this can be down just fine as long as the amp has the right crossovers & power ratings. And as I said in my previous car I had a 4-channel amp which I bridged the four speakers off two channels and the sub off the other two channels.
And you shouldn't comment on someone's equipment if you know nothing about it. Because the power my Pioneer amp puts out is 50x4 RMS and not peak! That's why I said that most people are deceived by the power ratings printed on head units because it is peak & not RMS. Most head units can't match the RMS ratings of most amps.

It is possible to run the sub off one channel and the speakers off the other, but the ohm load has to be the same on both channels so you would have to really know what you are doing and could easily burn the amp up. however, it isn't possible to "bridge" 1 channel of a 2 channel amp. bridging is when you put two channels together to make it into one which puts out more power and makes it a mono channel. As you said with your 4 channel, it is very easily done with it, but with a 2 channel, you can only run a sub on it if you bridge it into 1 channel.
As for your amp, most people don't know the difference in rms and peak rating. I apologise if your amp is rated 50x4 rms. I bet if you look on box cover, it lists the peak output instead of rms as how much power it produces. If it is 50x4 rms, then i bet the box cover says 100x4 or 75x4 which are peak ratings

CircuitSky,
You run any of your speakers through the same amp as your subs?
Do you have a separate amp for the speakers or do you run them from the head unit?
I have only Pioneer 50x4
300watt RF Amp

Where is the sub? Looks like he listed 2 amps or maybe his hu amp and the rf amp, but i don't see any subs. maybe i am missing something?? or maybe someone else needs to read the posts more clearly??
later,
