Redcorn245 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I am looking for an amp that's running true 1500rms+ @ 4 ohms. Right now my sub is dvc 2 ohms wired to one ohm @ around 1500 watts. But i want to run at four ohms to see if it will sound better. Maybe upping spl. ANY IDEAS??????????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattc3366 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I say just stick with what you have. Most amps that put out that power at 4 ohms are kind of expensive. What if you don't notice a difference?

RooTxBeeR Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) http://www.rockfordf...x?itemid=117366 easily does 1500+ @ 4 ohms. I have looked into what you want to do, and I really couldn't find many amps that put out a significant amount of power @ 4 ohms besides these guys. Looked at DC even. To get 2k watts @ 4 ohms out of a DC amp oyu need to go with the 7.5k which is rediculous if u want 4 ohm output lol. GL on the search though. And if you ever do find one, let me know if there is a difference. I would love to guess there is a difference, when you go from 60-70% effiencincy up to 85-95%. Edit: Lol ninjad.

EclipseChris Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Your gonna spend a lot of money just to see if it "sounds better". If power and signal clarity are the same then the only difference you will see is as a result of the quality of the amplifier. I'd say just invest in a better quality amp, not a more powerful one.

Redcorn245 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 thanks for all the replys. i love the amp i have now i was just curious as to how much it would be to push it @ 4 ohms instead of 1. i could probly get away with an amp thats running 750x2 rms @ 2ohms. and run a voice coil of each one. im just thinking of different ways that i could run in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crandis16 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 running it at a higher impedence should increase efficiency.... so you SHOULD see a little better results at 1500wrms @4ohms than 1500wrms @1ohm Like everyone said, it'll be really expensive and not worth it. just stick with a 1ohm load Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diatribe Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Bridge a powerful 2-channel amp. The DD S2b is rated at 1600 bridged @ 4 ohms and 2700 @ 2 ohms. http://www.ddaudio.com/products/mobile-audio/amplifiers/full-range-amplifiers/s-series/s2b.aspx Anything high end at around 400w x 2 should bridge to around 1500 watts. It's going to be very costly on your electrical though, as most of these types of amps are class AB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcorn245 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 will they require higher amperage as opposed to a class d running at 1600 rms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
