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

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?

korndogg · 07-21-2004, 04:35 PM
