Jessica Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 my kenwood 8405 claims 60x4 @4ohm, 90x4 @ 2ohm and 180x2 @4ohm (that is kind of weird). there is no rating for bridged 2ohm load. Currently i am running it in 4ch mode but i would like to bridge it. It runs my 4 components, (infinity refrence 6030cs and polk db 5 1/4) they are all rated at 90 watts rms +/-. Here is the catch, if i bridge it i will most likely put a 2ohm load on it (speakers in parallel), or at best 3ohm. Since there is no rating for 2ohm and the owners manual states i should go 4ohm minimum what would i risk? The amp never gets hot even at full tilt for long periods. The amp is CEA rated but at 14.4v. I usually see 13.8 to 13.3 at high volumes depending on the music and without clamping i would guess i only see 75% of rated power. I'm rambling a bit here so, To review i would like some insight on what i could expect from bridging this amp at 2ohms. oh, and please don't hate on kenwood. Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside. My super random youtube channel and terrible camera work.

h23a3lude Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Most amps like that are only stable at 4 ohms bridged.. i wouldn't recommend running it at 2 ohm bridged unless you wanna blow it 92 Honda Prelude SI H23a3 HU: Alpine CDA-105 Front Stage: DB Drive PT6.0 6.5" Rear Stage: Junk pioneers (Not sure what im wanting to do in the trunk, waiting) Speaker Amp: DB Drive A4 4200 Sub Amp: MB Quart DSC1500.1 Subs: 2 12" MB Quart Premiums Box: Slot port tuned to ~34hz Wiring: Kicker Ultraflex 0awg and Big 3 Alt: Stock (saving for a 200amp Excessive Amperage) Batteries: Optima Yellow Top and Stinger SPV44 Extra Equipment: Two Rockford Fosgate T2 12's (Recones in future) Kicker ZX1000.1 Selling: GOLF CLUBS- http://www.stevemead...03#entry1916603 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
