LsChevy Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 Whats up guys if i have an amp that put out 150@4 ohms and 250@2 ohms. How much power will it pit out at 8 ohms? and will it be safe to run a 8 ohm load daily
MotorCityFats13 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 higher impedance will not hurt anything but in theory it should run more efficient but you will lose another 50% of your power .... unless you are doing something SQ related you are wasting money and power.... if the amp is a proven brand then you will be around 75x4 but if its an off brand amp then you might get more power using the deck

Do you really think you will have double power from 8 to 4 Ohms ? In theory, yes. I went from 4 Ohms mids, to 8 hms mids on the same amplifier. I don't feel I lost output. The amplifier is more efficient, the speakers are more efficient too, and I'm sure they don't receive only half of the (rated at 4 Ohms) power. black BMW X1 2.0 l 192 hp OEM head unit, Amplifiers : Audison AP 8.9 with integrated DSP and Ampere Audio 1200.

How much power will it pit out at 8 ohms? and will it be safe to run a 8 ohm load daily I'm thinking not much... At 12V like 18W. Why would you want to do that? Tough titty said the kitty when the milk went dry "Anchors aweigh! So what do you think of my little vessel? She's what we call a see-worthy. S-E-E, see with your eyes. I feel like my transport should be an extension of my personality. Voila. And this, this is like my little window to the world, and every minute's a different show. Now I may not understand it. I may not even necessarily agree with it. But I'll tell you what, I accept it and just sort of glide along. You want to keep things on an even keel, I guess is what I'm saying. You want to go with the flow. The sea refuses no river. The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving. It saves on introductions and goodbyes. The ride does not require an explanation - just occupants. That's where you guys come in. It's like you come onto this planet with a crayon box. Now you may get the eight-pack, you may get the sixteen-pack, but it's all in what you do with the crayons, the colors, that you're given. And don't worry about drawing within the lines or coloring outside the lines. I say color outside the lines, you know what I mean? Color right off the page. Don't box me in! We're in motion to the ocean. We are not land-locked, I'll tell you that. So where do you want out?" ~Waking Life
