2 Adire Audio Brahma's

[Wiseguy109 10+ year member]

Can you power 2 adire audio brahmas in parallel (so each sub would have an impedance of .5 ohms) with a 4 ohm amp? Also If I power it with a 2300 watt mono amp would that mean each sub is getting 1150 watts? Also is 1150 watts too much power?

If the amp can handle a .5 ohm load, then yes it will work. But there aren't that many amps that can handle that impedance. If you do this, yes the power would divide equally between the drivers. Whether they can handle that much power or not will depend on the enclosure used.

I was told that the impedance of a Brahma is actually dual 1.4ohm. So a single one connected in parallel would give a .7ohm load...so then two would provide a .35ohm load. Any truth to this? Can you shed some light over here??

1.3's actually. 1600Rms, 4800 peak. 1500 isnt too much power, ive got 3600 to both of mine.

You guys are confusing nominal impedance and the DC Resistance. When under power, the lowest impedance the amplifier will ever see is 2 ohms. And that's what you have to worry about, the impedance.
