Help make sense Taramp DS800x4 @2ohm Not your regular 4ch

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys I purchased this based on its size and rated power also price that got my attentions. 4ohm  x 136rms ok great i can run 4 x 100rms speakers 1 to each door  simple.

 

i got the amp and opened the box now im looking at 3 pairs of speaker terminals  and a very confusing spanish manual.

anyone understand how this really works  it i look at it seems like its a 4ohm bridge mode 2 channels x 400RMS  it makes no sense to me why does it only have 3 sets of speaker terminals and 1 of them is a +/-  ??? is this the wrong amp for me. I plan on using it in my F150 2020 supercrew just to run a set of components up front and regular midrange in the rear.

 

Do I have to run them in parallel or something but that would give my speakers down to 2ohm but the bridged mode is only 4 im very confused.

a normal 4ch would have 4 sets of speaker terminals this one has 3. if you notice the second screw from the left is +/1 is this a shared connection or something ?

I c wat u mean. I did not notice that. But just from looking that would be my understanding is that that is a shared connector. Positive from one speaker and negative from the other.

2 terminals serve as the positive to one channel and the negative to another channel. Just keep the negative on the left side and the positive on the right side. I’ll circle the terminals.

That diagram is showing a 2 channel version with 3 terminals, same using one terminal for a positive feed of one speaker and a negative feed of another speaker. If you look at the diagram closely, just imagine 6 terminals is 4 channels like in the pictures I’ve illustrated and you will understand.

Yeah, I thought it was too when I first seen it a while back. Taramps be on some next level stuff sometimes. I like taramps. They impress me for what it’s worth and how much their products cost.
