1 or 4 channel

[stevenslrp 10+ year member]

Im running three speakers and I want to know should I push them with a 1 channel amp or 4 channel amp. Which is better for pushing an odd number system.

Can you tell me the important difference for using each one.

Total rms of speakers: 1050

And what amp do you think I should get?

Are you talking about running 2 midrange speakers and 1 subwoofer? What kind of speakers?

 

[stevenslrp 10+ year member]

Three subwoofers, pioneers 350 rms each.

Since you need it for the sole purpose of running sub's a mono amp would be your best bet. Should be a tad bit cheaper then a equal sized 2/3/4 channel amp...

You haven't posted the ohm load? Do you understand what ohm load is?

Why did you decide to use 3 subs?

 

[stevenslrp 10+ year member]

sorry bout that, 4 ohm load dvc. Great, so I'll just look for a mono amp 1 or 2 ohm stable, and drop the loads down to 2.7 ohms.

Any recommended amps?

I wanted to use three mainly because of trunk space, I could have went with four but I've be saving some space.

I have two 12's in my 94 cutty.

And I wanna put three 10's in my lac, 2001 eldorado.

Any recommended set ups you think I should run with?
