I've got a situation here that i can't work out. :| I've got 2 dual voice coil subs (each coil = 8 ohm impedance). I've also got an amp that makes the power i want when bridged into 4 ohms but i cant seem to find the right combination to connect it all up!! Is it even possible???thanks
What will your amp think of 2 ohms, a 4 ohms is not possible with the combination you have, unless you compromise and don't use two of the coils.
"Mono (bridged) mode is designed ...... ...for 4-8 ohm loads and will not support a 2 ohm load.""Stereo mode is designed for use with 2,4 and 8 ohm speaker loads."That is taken from the owner's manual. The amp puts out good power at 2 ohms in stereo mode but i don't think i can get that combination either. Here are some amp specs: 4-ohm stereo - 158WRMS x 2 2-ohm stereo - 244WRMS x 2 4-ohm bridged - 484WRMS x 1Subs: 250WRMS eachso the max. wattage is double the RMS figure? right?so what sound do u think i could get if i connected the coils in parallel so i'd get 4ohms per sub and connect it in 4 -hom stereo mode and get 158 WRMS per sub? is the lack of power going to damage it?thanks
hehehe the situation has changed managed to get similar subs (same brand, dual voicecoil/magnet) but each coil is now 4 ohms instead of 8. that way i can connect the coils in parallel an get 2 ohms out of a sub and hook it up to the 2-ohm stereo option with the amp and get 244WRMS per sub. these subs are rated at 250WRMS cant wait to hear it all!!!! thanks for your help
