truck_buster23 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 my amp does 1400 rms at 4 ohms and 700x2 at 2 ohms in stereo I have my sub wired at 8 ohms it's dual 4 ohm I was just wondering if this will hurt the amp at all or is it just gonna put out a little less power?

ALPINE408 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 A lot less power but the amp would play like that for years Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown?

Why not just wire the coils in parallel and get a 2 ohm load and then run the amp in stereo at 2 ohms? Its going to get a whole lot more power and be a whole lot louder too. The only thing that may suffer a bit is sound quality, but that won't matter that much.

Yeah I was gonna but would I have to put a resister or something on the other channel. What about running a coil on each channel? Quote Eclipse Hifonics Alpine Kinetik Optima Excessive Amperage alt
kylecm85 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Posted August 31, 2008 first u have to figure out the rms of your sub. Because if u just send 1400 to a 500 watt rms sub you are just going to smoke it what kind of sub do u have and the box design is a big part to.
