Considering that you will be high passing the front and rear speakers, this may not be the best option to use with the bass shakers...... Use a separate amp to power them. The Eclipse XA5000 is rated at 50w x 4 and 450w x 1 (2ohm) so it is going to provide more than ample power.

ok so the best I can hope for is a two amplifier setup, thanks for the responses so far
do dual 4ohm subs present a 2ohm load to the amplifier?

Missed that part on the subs (that is if you have two subs), to use the Eclipse amp you would need to only use one coil on each sub. To operate at 1 ohm (which is what the dual 4 ohm subs wire to in a all parallel setup), means that we must look that much harder for a 5 channel amp. Coming to mind at this time is the same amp that Paul has mentioned, the Memphis Belle.
If you have one sub, the Eclipse XA5000 is a great match to your system.

Yes your w6v2 is a dual 4ohm driver so yes wiring the coils parallel will give you a 2ohm load.
The Eclipse amp mentioned would be plenty of power to drive your speakers as would a Belle or numerous other 5ch amps.

This might sound stupid, but cant you run the bass shakers off the deck itself?
I dont know which model of shakers you have, but my old ones i had back in the days actually responded quite well with just the deck. They really didnt need much power to run. But they may have been a lower model also.
.....i miss my shakers.....
