400 watt amp

[Guest]

The Audio Technix bighoss150 listed will do ~400 at 2Ω. It is a very under rated little amp and the model number is not the power rating.

So it says 200 RMS at 2ohms. Is that running one sub or two? Sorry im an audio noob so I have to ask.. Thanks

any amp will run an infinite amount of speakers, as long as the final ohm load (what ohm load the amp sees) is right

So in theory I could hook 14 subs up to this and it would push out 200watts as long as its wired to 2 ohms?

But he wants more wattage to each sub and you can't wire 2 4 ohm svc subs to 1 ohm to get the full 400 watts

Not in theory. In practice. And the rating on that amp is at 12.8 volts. When your vehicle is running, the voltage is between 13.8-14.5 on average and that means the amplifier will produce more power.

yeah, but then in that situation, each woofer would be getting about 14 watts.

I would like to see 200 RMS to each sub if not a little more. I would rather leave the amp turned down a little bit rather than having an underpowered amp and having it turned up far all the time.

What do you mean by leaving the amp turned up or down?

i think he means he wants to use a bigger amp that is dialed back to output less power, instead of a smaller amp that will stress harder trying to make power.

I suppose the gain? Im not disbelieving your claim about that amp being underrated but I need to see that it says itll run 200watts x4ohm x2 subs or 200watts x 2ohm x 2 subs. I don't want to get the amp and put it in and wish I had gotten a higher powered amp, because that's how the current amp I have is acting now.

This, yes.
