SumWhitey Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 My old amp blew but I happened to have an extra laying around.. Its an older 2 Channel 600W Sony http://www.crutchfield.com/S-DI4ZdwvNDPV/p_158XM2100/Sony-XM-2100GTX.html I got 2 15" MTX Thunder 4500s in a box already, i'm pretty sure they're wired up at 2 ohms currently, the guy I bought the box off of used liquid nails (something anyway) to help hold the subs in the box i think, when I get home later i'll try pulling them out again. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-UOZyFlZE9xi/p_236T4515/MTX-Thunder4500-T4515-04.html?tab=features_and_specs#details-tab My question is, what would be the best way, if any, to use my Sony amp with the thunder 4500s - would i be better off bridging and running the amp at 4 ohms even though the subs are wired for 2? or should i not bridge it, and run each sub on its own channel? I'm probably forgetting something.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt I'd get to much out of the amps & subs as old as they are and a new system isn't too high on my priorities right now, its just nice to have some lows on the 45 min drive to work.

SumWhitey Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 1 per channel. + to + and - to - it should be 2 ohm at each channel I hooked it up like you said, amp got a little warm with the volume ~half way up, sounds like crap compared to the 2k mono that blew though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 are your woofers in seperate boxes? may have better luck bridging that amp to one woofer and giving it its rms. than underpowering both of them.

I don't know why i never thought of bridging the amp and running just one of the subs - currently they are in the same box but the box is split and each sub is sealed in its own section of the box, i'll try that tomorrow and might just knock the box in 2 depending on how it sounds, thanks for the input.
