this is an email i sent and the reply back.....

email i sent....

whats up? im the person eli is having install 4 15" bramahs in his 94 s-10 blazer. how do you get a amp thats rated at 2000 watts rms @ 2ohm to putout 4000 watts @ 2ohms. this mcd4k amp is cea

compliant. 1000 watts rms @ 4ohm, 2000 watts rms @ 2ohm, and 4000 watts @ 1ohm.

reply...

If you set the gains properly, you'll get full output at several impedance loads.

Those ratings are based on the same input, say 1v. So say you get 1kwrms at 4ohm with 1v input. As long as your amp has the headroom, which in your case it does, if you double the input to say, 2v your output will double as well. This can continue until the headroom of the amp is consumed.. In this case, 4kwrms... Or if you run out of current to feed it... or if your subs max out.. factors that will 'limit' the system.

according to that if ur amp is 4000 w it will have full power at 4v?

thats retarded

4ohms @4volts

but yeah, no belief in that, just insnt possible

But now, JL Audio Slash series, in order to keep them 1000w at 4/3/2/1 ohm, you adjust voltage output using a DMM, but again - somewhat off topic

I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

i never knew u could get the same output for different ohm levels

i feel like a noob

Protip; Professionals measure their input signal in volts and dBu. In this case, volts. This is not the voltage feeding the power stage of the amp, this is the input signal ie: your music.
