Generally speaking you should only send low frequencies to subs. The highs, while lower in power than the lows, will over time harm the voice coils. The ideal way to do this is to use an external crossover netween the main output and the amp input with the higher range going to a general set of speakers. Send the lows through the second channel of the amp and then to the subs.

In short, while not recommended, yes you can hook them up in parallel.

How do i connect this amp to my powered mixer ( behringer europower 500)

Using TRS (balanced audio interconnect cables) go from the main output on the top of the panel to your amp inputs. MAKE SURE the amp is powered from the same receptacle as the mixer to avoid ground bounce and possiblle damage to your units.

My Peavey PV-118 18" subwoofer

Peavey uses a protection network and sometimes it gets blown when too much power is sent to the speaker. The speaker may be blown however. Peak power for this is 800 Watts and 400 Program... That is NOT RMS power. Make sure your amp is no bigger than 300 Watts RMS driving this. If you are REAL lucky, maybe a lead has fallen off the speaker... Open the unit inspect and test the components.

Useing a Peavey XR 800F Powered PA Mixer/Amp which develops distortion on output after around 60 minutes. Also had gear linked to all inputs at the time, three mics, 2 guitars and keyboard. Any ideas...

First of all confirm if the speaker impedance is not lower then the recommended Ohms at the back of the Mixer speaker socket.You can use an 8 Ohms speaker on a 4 Ohms amplifier but not vise versa .
Next see if the fan on the mixer works. If not the Amp is getting very hot and this will lead to unwanted distortion. You can confirm if its a heat related issue by playing the mixer at low volumes for more than an hour and see if it distorts.

Can I connect this mixer to a main mixer with 17 channels that is connected to an amplifier?

Yes you can - but do not use the loudspeaker outlets on the rear panel.
There are a variety of outputs on the front panel (bottom right as you look at it).
You can use the main output,  or monitor  send - (for monitor you may need to use the relevant 'send' switches on each channel to send signal to these outputs. 
You should also turn the power amp switch to main only (not main + monitor) so that the internal power amplifier is not connected to the monitor socket
You could also use the record out RCA (phono) sockets on the Peavey to connect to the CD / tape input on the main mixer.
You can download a pdf of the manual from here for more informationhttp://www.peavey-eu.com/index.php

I feel like a dork asking this question but how do you connect the amplifier to your mixer. I see that there are places for a banna plug however my mixer will not take a 1/4 banna plug.

In case you don't have one, here is a link to the manual:http://www.peavey.com/assets/literature/manuals/80300573.pdf I don't know if you are using a separate crossover between the mixer and the amp but here is the simplest explanation.I just reread your question and I don't even know whether you have a Peavey amp. Run proper cables from the main output of your mixer to the main inputs of your power amp.They will be 1/4"shielded cables or Balanced XLR cables. Do not use unshielded speaker cables to hook the mixer and the amp together.Run speaker cables from the speaker outputs of the amp to the input jacks of your speakers.Make sure the impedance of your speaker cabinets equals or exceeds the impedance rating marked on your amp. Here is the link to the newer model PV2600 manual:http://www.sweetwater.com/store/media/pv2600_doc_manual.pdf Don't use Speakon cables unless your speaker cabinets are equipped with Speakon input jacks. Banana plugs aren't as solid a connection as the binding posts are.

Can one(1) Peavy PV 2600 amp provide enough power for two(2) Yorkvilles 15" 300W full range and two(2) Yorkvilles 18" 400W subwoofers?

It should be able to do this. You would need to put each type speaker on a seperate side and then use either an elctronic crossover or an EQ set to pass only lows into the side for the subwoofer to block sending highs to the subs.

I have 2 peavey 2600 amps with 1 pv6 mixer wanting to run subs off 1 amp and sp2s off other amp but only have 1 main output on the pv6 mixer whats my solution

Hi there,
you can run one amp from the main out puts and the second amp from the CTRL Room out puts. The CTRL ROOM are outputs that are linked to the same bus as the master fader. This will work fine...
Best of luck
