quick question plz! help, so i can buy quick

so you can hook a 2 channel up to two subwoofers right? or do i need a mulit or mono amp for that?

yes

i hooked 3 speakers up to my 2 channel amp.. i just bridged them

you rebel...

There is a lot of ways and configurations you can hook-up subs and amps. There are reasons for each,I think you should do a bit more reading.

Go to Circuit City (where I work) and talk to the car audio guys. They'll tell you the best setup for your money. Buy quality and not necessarily the highest wattage. anything other than a 4ch would be fine. get it hookedup by someone who knows what they are doing if you need to bridge or your using 2-ohms instead of four.

I have:Apline 350 4ch., Apline 500 (2-ohm) monoblock, Infinity Kappa 4x6s & 6x9s & 10.1D Sub, 1-Farad capacitor

quick question here....

since u work at circuit city. lol i have 2 10" rockford HE subs and right now i have a 2channel 500w rockford amp. I want to upgrade my amp. any suggestions? i kinda wanna stay with rockford for my truck cause everything else is.

I actually sell everything at Circuit city except for car audio. So I'n not up on what particular R.F. models are out. But it depends on the power handling of your amp and your subs. You may not need to upgrade your amp, maybe the subs instead. If your amp is not getting the RMS power to the subs that they are capable of then yes upgrade the amp. Amount of power that you are getting from the amp depends on how you have it hooked up. Your probably not getting 500w from the amp. the advertised numbers always show the max. capable, but not what you get in a typical setup. Look at the specs/manual for the amp. It should tell you how much power it is putting out for 2channels @ 4-Ohms. if this is lower than what you subs are capable of, and you have them wired straight (not bridged), then upgrade amp. Don't just look at the max wattage numbers, look at the RMS numbers too. Match RMS on amp to RMS handling on subs. Some of the cheaper amps, don't even show RMS numbers.

what's the difference between 2 ohm, 4 ohm, and 8?

i kno all about wattages and stuff. i was just wondering what newer amp you could recommend. just wanted some suggestions thats all. my system is one of the loudest around here in a truck actually.

i have a power acoustic 1600 watt amp... i like it

good for u ridge. :)

good for u ridge. :)

:dunno:..... is that spose to be a smart remark?

the speakers are 600w rms at 4ohm for the pair and my amp is RMS Output Power ( 4 Ohms ) 320W x 2 soo i should be fucking set!! what does ohms mean though!?!?

ohms is resistance

correctdamundo

what is resistance, i know what it means, but resistance for what or to what or what the fubar!!!?!?!?

its the total resistance through the speaker.

korndoog.... I can't recommend anything to you really because I don't know what exactly you have in your car. if you know all of that then you should be able to pick a pretty good amp for your system.

LiquidSmooth.... Ohms is a measure of resistance, how much a speaker will resist the flow of power to it. Home audio speakers are 8-ohms, car audio is typically 4-ohms (sometimes 2-ohms). It is a bad idea to connect an amp (home or car unit) to speakers that are of a different resistance than the unit. Bad stuff. Less resistance means more power is flowed. It has the same effect as bridging.

i thought i told u what i had? but okay its cool dont worry about it man.

dude those subs pound hard. I heard them in a single shambered box at circuit city ( they were like 143.00 each. ) and the shook the room off just 200w. and they handle 1200W ..Haha bye-bye glass.... I'll stick with my RF punch's and 400 watt amp =D

so the lower the ohms the better, that's all i needed... 92rs which subs r u talkin' about?
