I currently bought this amp (http://www.amazon.com/JBL-MA6004-4-Chan ... 863&sr=8-2 )to run the 4 6.5's but was wondering if I would be able run the 4 speakers off the front channel and maybe run one sub off the back channel. Would the amp just get to hot and not work?

You didn't say how you were going to wire them? In parallel I assume. I'm pretty sure you just reduced the load on the amp from 4 ohms to 2. Is that amp capable of handling a 2 ohm load? Pretty much all newer ones are but I would check.

Yes, Parallel was what I had planned. Here is a better website to show specs on the amp (http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_122 ... A6004.html )but it is 2 ohm stable. I just don’t believe the speakers are rated for 4 ohms.

You may be asking a lot more from that amp then it's meant for. You may be better off to upgrade to a bigger amp that is 4+1 Channel. Also, if you run two speakers from the front left and two on the front right, that should lower your ohm rating to 4 ohms. If I recall the speaker should be 8 ohms if ran by itself.
