R.Sto Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 New to forum trying to read these on a phone very hard to search sorry if questions have been asked and answered before. I have 2 NSv3 15's dual 2ohm and 2 Rockford 2500, each amp hooked to each speaker at 1ohm. I've noticed people running 2 amps on 1 speaker by hooking each amp to each voice coil. My question is it possible to use 4 Rockford 2500s by hooking each one to each voice coil (would be 2ohm loads). Would this be too much power? I have seen videos of people pushing 10k 12k but those are being done by 2 amps. Does Anyone know if this is safe and can be done? Or just a bad idea. Thank you.

R.Sto Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Which part is the bad idea? Sorry if its a dumb question that if I have to ask its usually no, just trying to learn. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notorious97200 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 You can do it, or you can run the amps strapped (like it's only one amplifier). Is it necessary ? I don't think so. You may need more knowledge and experience. Go to the RF page and see if those amps are strappable. I think so, but you'd better check.

audiofanaticz Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 It be a waste to run 4 amps at 2 ohms with those amps especially if they are not the bdcp constant power series, even if they are the bdcp models I would say you might as well recone to dual 1 ohm coils right away to get the most power out of them. Just adding 2 more amps and running them all at 2ohms you wont really hear much of a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Sto Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Yes they are the Rockford 2500 Constant Power. They are linkable with sync cables but only when they are hooked to 2ohms at the lowest. The Rockford 2500 Constant Power also says it has 2500 RMS at both 1 and 2ohms. So I figured if I ever blow a speaker later I could recone them to total 2ohms each then be able to link them with the sync cord for 5k. That was why I asked. I didn't know 2 2500s hooked to each speaker voice coil at 2ohms wouldnt make much of a diffence since the rockfords2500s put almost the same amount of power in 1 or 2ohm. Or would 4 Rockford 2500 hooked directly to each coil at 1ohm (after blown or reconed like audiofanaticz recommended) then would the 4 amp setup be worth it? And which would be better 4 Rockford 2500s directly to each voice coil @1ohm or a pair of Rockford 2500s synced to 5000 @2ohms to each speaker?

MrSkippyJ Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 I think you can use 2 amps on 1 sub with each amp being at 1ohm by linking them rather than strapping them.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Two of those amps per sub at 2 ohm would definitely be a noticeable difference over 1 per sub at 1ohm. Whether or not you should do it is something you need to decide, The subs should take it fine if you know what you're doing.

R.Sto Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 By linking do you mean dbSYNC ? It says 5000 watts @ 2ohms. I'm not sure of the diffence between strap and link sorry. Thanks for trying to help me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
