two 4ohm subs on a mono amp?
sry if this question is retarded, but i don't want to make the stupid mistake of buying the wrong amp.
If i'm looking at a mono amp that can perform 250wrms from 1.5ohm - 4ohm (i'm looking at the JL500.1), can i wire two 4ohm subs in paralell safely? i know that makes a 2ohm mono imped. but its not a stereo amp.... does it matter? bcea1 warns against it using an example of a 2ch amp, not a mono. just confused, thnx for any help

Re: two 4ohm subs on a mono amp?
The amp dosen't know how many speakers it has hooked up, It just sees the load on it, as long as you don't exceed the impedence ratings on the amp, you will be fine.

not true, if an amps only rated for 2ohm stereo 4 ohm mono than you should not go below 4 ohms when bridging the amp.

Re: two 4ohm subs on a mono amp?
Ive had a profile amp hooked up at 2 ohm from 2 4ohm speakers for over 3 months and ive never over heated the amp, never blew it up never hurt it. It can be done like balls to the wall said it doesn know how many speakers are there just the load thats being presented. The 4 ohm bridged thing however as long as the amp doesnt go below 4 ohm or something of that nature ie. iv used a jlw3 on my ca600 bridged with no problems. Just that i know 2 ohm will completely toast the amp. But all in all yes it can be done with no problems.
