DGold Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Not sure if I'm just tired or what right now but, I had a 2 channel amp bridged together with 2x 4ohm SVC subs. The amp is rated at 1000x1 @ 4 ohms bridged. I ran the subs in parallel so wouldn't that present a 2ohm load to the bridged channel? It's rated at 500 x2 @ 2 ohms so was I getting 500w per sub? I had it bridged at 2 ohms if I'm thinkin correct but may be wrong. Here's the amp. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17600_...s+ZXi+1010.html Old Setup 03 DurangoRF Power T1 6.5 CompsMids/Highs Amp: AQ4x90Sub Amp: AQ 3500.1DSubs: 2 DC XL 18sBox: 12ft^3 tuned to 33HzMechman 270 Amp AltXS 6500XS 3100 x2 Highest Score to date: 151.2 db @ Headrest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enemyofsilence Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 this is what you get when you wire them in parallel. so if you wired them to your amp at a 2ohm load, then each sub is only seeing 250w, 500w total @2ohm edit: correct me if im wrong but 500x2@2ohm means that each channel sends out 500w for a total of 1000w@2ohm Team Bass-Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGold Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I think whats confusing me is that it said its 1000w bridged @ 4 ohms. Well i had them in parallel and bridged so wouldnt it be bridged at 2 ohms? Edit: i had them wired just like the picture in Enemy's post. I bridged the 2 channel amp into a mono amp.

lanman31337 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 The dilemma is this - your subs are single voice coil 4 ohm. You can't run the subs in parallel because it's only stable at 4 ohms mono. Your only option would be to wire each sub to a channel on the amp. Enemy - you are absolutely correct, it would be 500x2@2 ohm, but bridged halves the impedence, so it's 1000x1@4 ohm. 2 - Audiopipe AP30001Ds 1 - Lanzar Opti Scion 600.4 4 - Lanzar Optidrive 1232D's 1 - Lanzar Opti 5.1 1 - Lanzar Opti 6.1 1 - Lanzar Opti 6C midbass 1 - Alphasonic PCT6551 1 - Lanzar VX830 1 - JBL 22 band EQ 1 - Lanzar SDBT75NU 1 - AudioControl Epic160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so even tho i had them wired like that it will still be the bridged 4ohm load, I'm just wondering what kind of output I had. So it was 1000x 1 = 500 per sub even though I had them wired to a 2ohm load and it says 1000 @ 4ohm Old Setup 03 DurangoRF Power T1 6.5 CompsMids/Highs Amp: AQ4x90Sub Amp: AQ 3500.1DSubs: 2 DC XL 18sBox: 12ft^3 tuned to 33HzMechman 270 Amp AltXS 6500XS 3100 x2 Highest Score to date: 151.2 db @ Headrest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarAudioFab Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 4 ohm dual voice coils would allow you to run each speaker at parallel and then in series to the amp for a four ohm bridged load, but according to those specs that max power is 1000 watts which leads me to believe rms power is way lower -Mark Host of "CarAudioFabrication" - YouTube Car Audio Tutorial Channel Check out my forum section here on SMD for my builds and tutorial videos!

DGold Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 It's 1000w RMS, theres a link on first post. Little overrated though.
