its NOT there are NO amps that are multi channel and bridge to 2 ohm, unless they can run a 1 ohm load on each channel which is very unlikely for the sony. | |

that amp is 2 ohm capable, but it doesnt say 2 ohm stable (kinda worrying) but how will i know if its 2 ohm stable when bridged. | |

monos will bridge to 4,2 and sometimes 1 ohm, nut multichannel amps will only bridge to a final 4 ohm load. so yeah either get another or flog it and buy a mono mate. | |

ah I thought it bridged to two ohm! | |

2 x 165W or 1 x 400W is the RMS. | |

how exactly would i wire them in parallel, which way round do the wires need to be. is it positive of one sub to the positive of ch 1, then the negetive of the same sub to the other sub's positive, then the negetive of the other sub to the negetive of ch 2 of the amp. does that sound about right? | |

I think it'll be underpowering them anyway. Bridge the two channels, wire the subs paralell for a 2ohm load on the amp..... It'll probably be underpowering them anyway (the manufacturer doesn't state real RMS ratings.. wonder y lol) ............. | |

if the sub isnt free air running, then it CAN do damage to the coils - so i would really recommend that he gets his "mate" to build him a propper box to the specs that sony recommend etc | |

the manual that comes with the amp should tell you how to wire up a pair of subs. | |

well the fact that they probably arent free air subs will make them sound like a big pile of poop.. get the box sorted first mate.. as for the amp wiring situation.... | |

Right then, next weekend i am fitting an amp to my mates MG ZR and wiring up two subs too it. he's got a full sony xplod :look: install (he wont listen :lol:). the amp he is getting is a 1000w max unsure of rms 4ch bridgeable amp and he has two xplod 1200w max 350w rms subs to be wired from the amp. now powering the amp etc is not a problem, jus wondering which will be the best way to wire the subs into the amp. ie. just wire one sub bridged into ch 1 + 2 n the other in 3 + 4. or wire them up in parallel or series :boggle: all kind of confusing really. not sure what ohm stable the amp is or the subs. they are both single voice coil subs thow. so any help on that would be much aprechiated. |
