amp!!!?

[DaNiMaL]

Looking at 4 channels so i can bridge to components, sub is 900w RMS, which amps should i be looking at, most of them are like 100 x 4 at 2 ohms i dont really understand it all, want it to be BOOMING, so need advice really,

900w RMS is a big ask from a class ab amp

imho i'd go for a 2 channel and a mono amp

what sub have you got?

 

[DaNiMaL]

some awful in phase one probably isnt even 900 rms they do exagerate, i plugged it into my mates amp and was kicking hard, about the same as his 15'' kicker

 

[Dink]

ahh right well you should be all right with that amp as long as you can wire the sub to show the amp 4 ohms

 

[DaNiMaL]

what are all these ohms about, explain please? haha

 

[Dink]

it's the "resistance" the speaker shows the amp

too low a "resistance" and there is a chance you'll cook the amp

so is 2 ohms more powerful than 4? im confused now, which power specs should i be looking at which are considered 'Decent'

I'd personally go for a 3/4 channel amp.

do u want my sub + amp combo ?

Gives an awesome sound

 

[DaNiMaL]

no in a word lol

you need to match them same as power ratings. bridging 2 channels can normally only run a 4 ohm sub or higher.

where as alot of mono amps will run 1 ohm subs but the higher the resistance the less power you get as the voltage doesn't change

although this doesnt apply to amps with a regulated power supplies i.e some jl audio amps
