kanes_disciple Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I got a good question here. My subs are dual 4 ohm and I wired them up to the amp so that the amp was at a one ohm load. Heres the specs on my amp: Amplifier Specifications Number of Channels 1 - Mono RMS Power (4 ohms) 300 watts x 1 channel RMS Power (2 ohms) 450 watts x 1 channel RMS Power (1 ohm) 600 watts x 1 channel Bridged RMS Power Not Bridgeable Total RMS Power Output 600 watts Peak Power Output N/A Minimum Impedance Unbridged 1 ohm So my question is am I pushing 450 watts into my subs or 600? I just read a post that a dual 4 ohm sub can be wired at 2 or 8 ohm's. Thanks!

Berto Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Well how many subs do you have? If you have two, then you can only wire them to 1ohm or 4ohms. So you're getting 600rms. Here's a site that'll help: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woof...mp;woofer_imp=4 Follow that link. EDIT: The link is fixed for a 2 dual 4ohm sub setup. You can change that though.

Heres the specs on my amp: hmm...why ask if you know you wired it to a one ohm load? unless you arent sure you wired it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanes_disciple Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I got two subs and I always thought it was 600 going to them, but when I read that it kinda freaked me out lol. So between the two subs there is 8 ohms total and when I run a pos and a neg to the amp it goes to a one ohm load. Thanks for the reassurance guys!

Torres Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 wiring 1 dual 4 ohm sub can be wired down to 2 ohms. add another dual 4 ohm sub in parallel and you can wire it down to 1 ohm (which is what you did) and just so you know in case you may be thinking differently, each sub is getting 300 watts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
