mono amp and 4 ohm sub help


Recommended Posts

Posted

So I just picked up a R500-1 Monoblock amp. RF. If you look at http://www.halfpricecaraudio.com/Rockford-Fosgate-R500-1-Monoblock-500-Watt-Subwoofer-Amplifier-Prime-Series.htm you will see that of the four wire terminals on the amp the two left are + and the two right are - . It says 2 Ohm minimum. I have a SVC 4 Ohm JL Audio 15. Which of the four terminals would I hook up to? Can I drop the sub to 2 Ohms?

AMP=

RMS Wattage at 2 Ohm x 1 Channel: 500

RMS Wattage at 4 Ohm x 1 Channel: 320

SUB=

RMS Power Range (Watts) 100-500

Peak Power Handling (Watts) 800

Your sub is 4 ohms and you can't change that (without changing the voicecoil). There are 2 connections for speakers on the amp to make wiring easier. Both connections are the same, it does not matter which - or + you use. They are internally connected so it's your choice.
