Title: Sub and Amp
Post by: JoeDarKa on December 26, 2012, 05:27:01 pm

Im looking at a sub and amp to fit into the enclosure from the GB. Iv found a sub that has 350w nominal power output (its a duel 2ohm coil) with a peak of 1200w. The amp im looking at is 1x400w rms at 2ohms with a peak at 800w. Will it run ok?

What are the products you're looking at?

You won't get 4ohm load out of a dual 2ohm sub.

You'll need a 2ohm or 1ohm stable amp for that sub.

That's a dual 4ohm sub - wire them in parallel to give a 2 ohm load.

That will then give 400wrms onto the 350rms sub. I wouldn't say no to that.

Sub looks good. Not personally a fan of JVC but don't think they have a bad name.  :happy2:

Sweet! There are other amps but just saw it, thought it looked ok.
