I want to buy a 4 channel and a 2 channel to power 6 midrange speakers but dont know if it is possible to daisy chain these 2 amps together.

Is someone able to help me out with this? Much appreciated!

    Not sure what you mean by "daisy chain" but PA500.4 has a master/slave switch which allows you to connect it to another PA amp so you would get power and # of channels of both amps while controlling/tunning from 1. Basically lets you connect a whole bunch of speakers/amps and not lose control over them.
    Not sure if PA250.2 has that same switch but i would assume it does.

    technically you could connect ur head unit to 200 amps by just splitting the signal.... is that what ur asking?

    As long as 2channel has that switch - no problem, that's exactly what that switch is for.

    if you are running the SIGNAL wires from one amp to another, you can do that for as many amps as you have.

    you cannot daisy/join anything on the output side of things tho. but there are other brands where you can join/concatenate the outputs of two smaller powered amps to drive one larger load.
