is it really 2ohm? my amp only produces good bass running 4 ohm wired parralel on dvc. this 2 ohm will produce same power/bass?

Yes, you will need an amp that can handle 2ohm. Jl Audio sells a 4ohm model or buy two for a 4 ohm wiring in parralel. Woofer is single voice coil.

Yep, it's really 2ohm. 4ohm wired parallel whether it's 2 subs or 1 DVC sub will present a 2ohm load. So, what you're saying is your amp works well on a 2ohm load, and this sub will present that same load to your Amp.

You can only wire your subs 1 or 4 ohms with dual 4ohm voice coils. If dual 2 ohm you can can .5, 2, or 8 ohm load. 1 ohm this amp will put out way over what you subs can handle. I have 2 12s on this amp wired at 2 ohm load and slams hard. My subs are 2,200 peak and im pushin 1,500 r.m.s. to each sub in ported box tuned to 38 hz. For your subs id either find a smaller amp thats around 1,000-1,200 rms at 1ohm or get different subs. This amp is no joke and is a beast

the amp is 2 ohm stable so you can use a single dual 4 ohm voice coil sub wired in parallel and see the rated output of 350 Watts but you must be aware that at 2 ohms more potential for stuff to go wrong. it is theoretically more stable at 4 ohms so its really up to you, how loud do you want it.

Are the subs wired correctly for 4ohms or 2 ohms. If so your gains need to be adjusted properly and any boosts from your deck turned off

Ive got mine hooked to a pioneer premier 12 in 2ohms and its really really loud I have to keep the subwoofer line way down. Im sure it would be similar for yours in 4ohms its a very strong amp. Works great ive had a few different kenwood amps and they always perform.

I am not sure, however I do have a problem. It is advertised as an 8 ohm amp but it is only a 4 ohm. I have been warned that it would damage my 8 ohm speaker. Is that true. I hope that, for both our sakes, we can hook up a reverb to the amp because the effects are not good. Haddon Salt

At 4 ohms it 1200 watts. At 2 ohms its putting out 2600 and at 1 ohm your getting 4000 watts. Its a true 4000 watt amp. I am pushing a 15 inch massive audio comp sub with this amp and it has no problems at all moving it.

the amp will not go to 2 ohms see if you can change the wiring to series... ithink that you should try it out with just 2 cabs.. you would be running 1000 watts to each cab... that's pretty good umph... just a thought... good luck

The 2 ohm will take more power thus being able to run a higher watt amp but you are sacrificing sound quality for volume, the 4 ohm is no slouch, it has to use a slightly lower wattage amp but has much higher sound quality, your bass will be sharper and cleaner with the 4 ohm.

The ohmage output of your amp has to match the ohmage of your speakers or you will not get the best sound and will more than likely burn out your amp. Ohms are the impedance levels. In the case of speakers, the lower the impedance the more wattage they will handle. I'm no elec. engineer so that's a laymans summary for you. For bass, I have always preferred 4 ohms which is what most all ampeg bass amps have been since the 70's.

How many voice coils do you have that amp works well at 2ohm or 4ohm. If your sub is dual voice coils it can be wired down to a lower ohm so you can pull the max RMS/watts from the amp
2096169
Yeah 2 ohm but i like the mono blocks because they 1ohm stable anyway rather you 1ohm it are not with a 5 channel either its a mids an high amp are a all in one either way you will over heat that amp if it ant the true watts on it an blow it up

I'm no expert, and don't know what they mean by 4 ohm topology. Generally, the 4 ohm amp would be underpowered trying to drive 2 ohm speakers. Should be ok at low to moderate volume but high volume could overheat the amp. You should ask on a car stereo forum.

This amp has four channels if you are only using two channels it will be 4 ohms per channel.If you are using all four channels it will be 8 ohms per channel.Ensure that the speakers are wired accordingly(most likely series parallel as you have 8 speakers most likely of 8 ohms).The ohms at the amplifier terminals can be higher than 4 ohms per channel but never lower (in 2 channel mode).

Yeah. Single 4ohms and even dual 4 ohms. I game mine to my son and it works like a charm. Cheap amp. Just keep in mind that there are some defective ones out there . But P.A will repair it for free. Minus shipping and handling.

these subs hit hard for the price man.. 2ohm or 4 ohm DVC's ?? id wire them at 4 ohms.. might be pushing it. since they are only 600 rms peak subs..

I would keep at 2ohm. I have 2 12's running at 2ohm. This amp lies about the power it has.
