View Full Version : 1ohm, 2ohm, 4ohm etc etc Help Needed
Hi, this amp arrived now i need to know what the "ohms" mean,
http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/1532.html
It does 1ohm @ 1500watt
2 ohm @ 1000watt
4ohm @ 500watt RMS.
The subs im getting are RE Audio SE's which are rated 600watt RMS (4ohm) and I want 2.
Therefore the amp would only be able to provide 250watt to each sub am I correct? Or can I set the subs to 2ohm so they can have 500watt each?
Thanks

coz the coils will be 4 ohm duals you can bridge them down to produce a 1 ohm load hense 1.5kw
coz the coils will be 4 ohm duals you can bridge them down to produce a 1 ohm load hense 1.5kwSo effectivly I can run them RE SE subs at 1ohm and the amp at 1ohm with 1.5kw sending 750watt RMS to each sub correct?

wire them like :

this will place a 1ohm load on the amplifier, and each sub will recieve just under 750wrms.
dont forget to keep the gains down a tad :)
i really wouldnt have got two SE's though :P
why not 2 SE's what subs would you recommend I aint ordered them yet!
James SRi and I said this befire... the RE XXX- only because you can get a better amp in a few years, and wont have to change the sub as it will last longer than your car :)
are you talking about these subs

Cos they are 2ohm and 1000watt RMS so my amp wouldnt be able to push them enough

the Se's will cope fine just dont go too mad with the gains. i have know people to put 2.2kw through a se
Ok I wont go mad with the gains!
