TEAM ZION Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 This is for my gfs car so id doesnt need to be perfect just has to sound decent im bridging a sony 600w xm-zr604 4 channel and hooking to a JL audio 12 inch my question is should i do a 8 ohm or 4 ohm sub cuz from what i understand bridging you cut the ohm load in half and if your amp cant handle it your outta luck i think it can handle the 2 ohm load from the bridge to the 4 ohm sub but if it cant i dont want to order the 4 ohm when theres a 8 ohm at the same price with the same specs? idk if my logic is right but any help would be appreciated ps got the amp for 40 bucks at sony outlet so thats why im not using a mono 1998 Honda Prelude AEM Short Ram Intake TSUDO Exhaust JVC head unit Mobile SPEC 5 1/4 front Carbon fiber JDM interior bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walwalka Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 If you are bridging one off each bridged channel you will want the 4 ohm SVC subs. Each of the bridged channels will see a 4 ohm load. 2010 Honda Civic LX / Deck: Kenwood DDX371 / Front Highs: Crescendo RTS-1 / Front Mids: Silver Flute 6.5's / 4 channel: DC Audio 90.4 / Sub: Fi 15in SP4v2 / Sub amp: Taramps HD 5000 / Power wire: Knukonceptz OFC 1/0 / Deadener: Audio Technix 60 mil / Batteries: XS Power D5100R / Rear bank: TBD / Alternator: Singer 240a hairpin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 why would you try to run a woofer off of a 4 channel. i tried that and it doesnt work out so well. get a monoblock amplifier if you want to run a woofer. thats what monoblock amps are made for.

bassl0va Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 You could get a dual 4 ohm sub, and bridge 2 channels per coil.

kingleo Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Or you can get the 8-ohm and run the sub in parallel and get a 4-ohm load to the rear bridged channels and run her front speakers off the two front channels. Or just do what basslova said. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/77708-2002-millenia-system-re-build/page__view__findpost__p__1070977__hl__%2Bmazda+%2Bmillenia__fromsearch__1 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110130-2000-acura-integra-gs-4-door/page__view__findpost__p__1536749__hl__%2Bmazda+%2Bmillenia__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAM ZION Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 thanks guys imma probably go with the 4 ohm dual coil i just really needed to know that the load wasnt goin to kill my amp or something lol cuz i know when you bridge it cuts your ohm load in half and i dont know if this amp can take any punishment 1998 Honda Prelude AEM Short Ram Intake TSUDO Exhaust JVC head unit Mobile SPEC 5 1/4 front Carbon fiber JDM interior bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
