Chris2k6Chevy Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 complete dumb question...even though the only dumb question is the one unasked that gets unanswered. or for this instance it could be the one asked with no answer=P I am getting 2 dual 4 ohm subs, should I get a 2 channel amp or buy a 4 channel amp and bridge each channel ?
IH8PunkRok Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 how about a mono since thats the intended use for such amps -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build
cqtama Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 you could do either one but i would get a monoblock and just wire them together, but thats just me. what subs? what kinda power you lookin for R.I.P '01 blazer you treated my ears well until your transmission blew up.

AUDIOADDICT02 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 I've used many multi-channel amps for subs & never had a problem...audiobahn makes some good multi-channel bass amps In this case, I'd go with a 2channel amp with a 4ohms bridged.....

Chris2k6Chevy Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Posted April 2, 2010 you could do either one but i would get a monoblock and just wire them together, but thats just me. what subs? what kinda power you lookin for I am going to get the Lanzar max 12DP4E they are 500 watts rms so I think that would make them 250 watts rms per channel. reason for me asking if a 2 channel or 4 channel and not a mono block trying to push the 2 subs is because I think it would draw more power than the other options and I don't have the money to put in a new battery or another battery/power capacitor. but just asking questions because thats the best way to find out. I'm not dead set on these subs but I like that I can get 2 of them for 110 bucks with free shipping off from www.audiosavings.com .
Chris2k6Chevy Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Posted April 2, 2010 I am thinking of getting the Hifonics HFI55.4 because it is 440 wats RMS x 2 when bridged. that and it is only 146 dollars and it comes with a 4 ga wiring kit. I havent read anything to bad on either of the products I was looking at. but appreciate opinions from folks.
