running amps in parallel mono?


Recommended Posts

hello everyone, i kinda want to experiment with something. i have 2 alpine MRP-500s each powering their own Alpine type R-12 which are in the same ported box. ever since i got a DD-1 i have been having terrible troubles with one of my amps. it wont show distortion ever. But i did match the voltage outputs of both amps and everything is working alright. but i feel like it would be a little louder with one large amp. and just easier in general to do. but since both of my subs are DVC 4ohm subs i need a pretty good sized mono block to get them at 1000watts at 4ohms. so i saw online that you can run amps in parallel and you can cut the lowest stable impedence level in half. my amps are 2 ohm stable and it looks like if i do that it will be 1ohm stable. are my amps even capable of this? and will it work well? any sugjestions or help with be appreciated. i cant seem to find much info on this topic..

whelp i feel stupid lol :P. that didnt even cross my mind for some reason. thanks for the info. i was more just curious on the whole parallel amp thing. but a nice 1 ohm stable amp will do the trick

what happens when your CD player skips and you accidentally drop a 22 hz sine bomb at an unholy volume on 7-8 year old subs? Mechanical failure floppy sub knockage on at least 2.

well...as i see the level 6 is compared to a lamborghini.....but a corvette?

i was thinking more like a chevy volt. its cute and new and "hip", but i would just rather stick my dick in a blender.........
