1600rms amp at 2 ohms

[tua27809]

I currently have four fosgate t3002 and eight 15" speakers. I have 2 speakers to each amp.I know they throw out about 800 rms according to the birth sheets but i have a problem. My problem is that my speakers are 400rms at 8ohms. So by bridging 2 of the speakers i get a 4ohm load. At this point the amplifier wont throw out its maximum watts rms. Therefore im looking for an amp which i can put four 15"s at 8ohms each. The amp will see a 2ohm load and therefore will throw out it intended power. Can anyone suggest any amps ? Anyhelp will be appreciated.

By the way, I will need these amps to be a/b class and not D-class. Thanks

Curious as to why a/b and not class d? There is no difference in sound and the class d is generally much more efficient. 1600rms on a class a/b is gonna be pretty expensive and a huge current hog.

Its not class a/b but a Kicker 1500.1 fits your power requirements

I want class ab because they are not subs. They are loudspeakers therefore i will need to run them in full pass

I had this problem as well with a pair of KLH loudspeakers.....8ohm was killing me, so i just gave up on them and dismantled them
