I've 2 pr identicle 8 ohm spkrs. I want to be able to use A or B, and also A and B. Can I do this without having to change the ohm settings each time?

Yes. I have two sets of 8 ohm speakers...one set on A, the other on B. Can play either independently or can play them both. Just push front button for A, B or both. BTW - two features I really like is the ability to access Pandora from internet, and the sleep timer feature.

Yes, I have two pairs of 8 ohm speakers myself, and have had no problem with impedence clipping or overheating. If I'm not mistaken, the impedence can be set separately so the system compenstares for unmatched speakers also.

The settings are 6 and 4 ohms. To be safe you can keep it on 4 ohms all the time.

If it's a single sub being connected, a dual 2 ohm sub will give you 1 ohm. If two subs are being used, you will need two dual 4 ohm subs. Before buying them however, verify that your 5 channel amp supports a 1 ohm load on its sub woofer output channel. In my experience not many 5 channel amps will support a 1 ohm load safely

You can, but it will change the ohm rating if you use two or more pairs of speakers. The manual lists what ohms and wattage changes occur with each combination of buttons will be very clearly, unfortunately I can't seem to find it right now. I have only run one pair of speakers at a time personally.

2 ohm, I have dual 12s both running 2 ohms with a 3000 watt amp, sounds amazing and I'm still breaking it in, but 2 ohm in my eyes is for more than one sub to divi the power more equally

yes you can, run the positive from your amp to positive on # 1 coil run the jumper wire from negative on the # 1 negative to the positive of # 2 coil run the negative from # 2 coil back to the negative of your amplifier this is series 8 ohms

Both A+B can be run at the same time. The manual will show you how to set the receiver to the 4 ohm setting. Your speakers must be 8 ohmor 16 ohm. This unit is high current, low ohmage, which is very good. Do not place anything on the top so it can breath. It will run cool. Great unit.

Is the resistance 8 ohms total, or 8 ohms per channel? If it's 8 ohms total, you would want to hook up, for example, two 16 ohm speakers, not two 8 ohm speakers. Basically, if you have two speakers with 8 ohms of resistance each (for example), that would result in 4 ohms total. I don't know if that helps at all...

Speaker impedance limits are really determined by your amplifier / receiver. The switch should not care whether your speakers are 4, 6, or 8 ohms. However, you may notice, if mixing speakers with different impedances, that when played simultaneously, one pair is louder than the other.

I have not tried this but from the manual it describes utilizing both the A and B speaker sets. If this is similar to the stereo receivers of the 70s-80s, you would not want to use 4 ohm rated speakers as what normally happens is the speakers get paralleled and the resistance/impedance drops to 2 ohms and that the amp would never be able to handle without shutting down. If I remember, I will test this and comment further but everything I have read says this should work with 8 ohm rated speakers.

I'd leave the selector at 8ohm and run the mix of 6 and 8 ohm speakers. It should be fine. The only way you'd run into a problem is with 4ohm speakers, and in that case you should be using a discrete amplifier.

yes you can, this amp has a speaker switch that lets you run a or b, and a&b;, be careful of ohm drop, though. i don't, i like stereo!

Yes I have the prime 1200 and have two p3d2s. It sounds amazing. Even when I had the one p3 it sounded great. But wiring options for the dual 2 ohm voice coil will only let you get 400 watts or 1200 which would be way too much. I'd get the d4 so you can wire to 2 ohms and get 800 watts.

This amplifier has a minimum load of 4 ohms and therefore is safe to run any combination of subwoofers you care to attach to as long as the impedence remains 4 ohms or above. Examples: (2) 2 ohm subs in series, (2) 8 ohm subs in parallel, (1) 4 ohm sub, (4) 4 ohm subs in series parallel. RCA adpters have nothing to do with it, the subs attach to the amp at the binding posts.

Yes you can. Specs say the amp is 2,4, or 8 ohms. Just don't mix on the A channel or B one 2 ohm and one 4 ohm speaker. If your going to install say the front speakers. Make sure they are the same ohms on the left and right. Same with the back speakers.

Hi! you can run 2x2ohms but make sure you dont bridge them because you will be running a 1ohm load and most 2 channel Amps are not stable at 1 ohm and will overheat. Connect sub 1 to channel 1 and sub 2 to channel 2 and you will be running a 2ohm load. hope this helps you out. Cheers

Yes,hook up one connection at a time and use the one that sounds the best.the other end leave disconnected.works for both 75ohms and 300ohms.

Why would u want this sub wired at 8 ohms, if anything u should wire it down to 2 ohms
