Re: impedence question.

So a 2 channel amp, and 2 infinity kappa 2ohms one on each channel yes that would be right. Same concept on a DVC.

Re: impedence question.

is the sub dual voice coil, if it is the only options you can get out of one is 1 or 4 ohm, if there are two of them you can get .5,2,8 ohm

Re: impedence question.

Or you can get a 4 channel amp and wire each coil to one channel. you dont have to always use a mono amp for subs, its not always the best in some cases you can draw less current and not make the amp work as hard wiring stuff up in bridged 4 ohm on a 2 channel amp.

Re: impedence question.

mono amps may not always be the best, but class D are a lot more efficient and they are mostly monobloc amps

Re: impedence question.

But you also dont alwasy need the most efficient amp, obviously you would want a class d if your going to be running 1k watts or more, but in most cases like mine where i only need 300 for each sub, im not going to worry about the efficiency of the amp. There are a lot of possibilites for wiring to diffrent loads for different amps, he could use a mono amp thats stable to 1ohm, a 2channel amp thats stable to 4ohm bridged or a 2 channel or 4 channe amp that has each channel capable of handling 2 ohms. Of course you dont have to worry as much about matching gains if you use a mono amp or a 2-channel compared to a 4 channel. BUt in this case a 4 channel amp that puts out 150rms @ 2 ohm would put that to each coil for either 2 or 4 subs. Theres alot of options when doing any of this.

Re: impedence question.

I am saying if people stay away from "flea market" brands, they might start to disappear. Even the cheaper brands must have some type of quality standards to survive.
