STEvil Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 520+520 = 1040. 1050-1040 = 10. There is 10 watts of rated difference. Impedence curve is the only other thing thats going to influence whether bridged or separate will be different, but it wont mean much.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

So when its says 520rms, is it putting out 520rms per sub, or 520 to both and splitting the power? Thats all im confused on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 520 to each. i wouldn't bother using the amp in stereo mode though. 99% of the time one woofer will be working slightly harder than the other one because bass in music is rarely split 50/50 along the left and right channels.

STEvil Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 520rms is per channel. There are two channels. When you bridge channels you are combining them into a single channel.

parker6594 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 So how should i wire this? Right now i have them in both channels. They are 4ohm dvc subs, so i cant wire them to 2ohm bridged. So im pretty much stuck with either 2ohm 2ch or 4ohm bridged. Which should i do?

STEvil Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 bridged is usually best.

parker6594 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 bridged is usually best. Last time i put it to 1050rms, my friend made one of the subs smoke. So im a little scared to do that haha. But i guess ill just watch my gains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 dude. running it in 2 channel mode or in bridged mode will yield the exact same fucking amount of power. the reason your friend make your sub smoke is because he was clipping the amp. aka having bass boost on, volume too high, or gain too high, or a combination. you should smack your friend. never let someone else play your system for you.

Yea im not letting him touch it again. I thought he was good at tuning but clearly he's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
