i probly know this answer but ill ask it any way. is there anyway to get a two ohm load from a SVC 4 ohm sub? probly NO

not with just one svc 4ohm. Two you can, but not one.

yeah thats what i thought didnt know if there were some resistors or something but my amp will do 300x2 @ 2 or 600x1 @ 4 so ill just get two 8ohm and pair them at 4

A pair of Dual 4-ohm VC subs will also present a 4-ohm load at the amp if you wire them in a series / parallel configuration.

yeah i know that but the subs im getting are a SVC JL8W3V3

then get 2 svc 4ohm and wire them parallel to 2ohm final

the amp will only run 4ohm bridged its a profile ap 1200

EDIT: i think it will only go to 4ohm bridged not sure specs dosent say w/ min imp. is

Gotcha.

600 W x 1 RMS bridged @ 4 ohms

» 300 Wx 2 RMS @ 2 ohms

» 200 W x 2 RMS @ 4 ohms

Gotcha.

yeah it sucks their only avail. in SVC

600 W x 1 RMS bridged @ 4 ohms» 300 Wx 2 RMS @ 2 ohms

» 200 W x 2 RMS @ 4 ohms

i got those specs but dont know if the amp is 2 ohm stable in bridgd mode probly not b/c they dont list 2ohm bridged pwr rating

i would like to run it 300 Wx 2 RMS @ 2 ohms but cant get SVC 4ohm down to 2ohm oh well

You have the right idea. Get the pair of 8-ohm SVC's and wire them in parallel to the bridged amp for a 4-ohm load... it definitely isn't going to like a 2-ohm load when bridged.

thanks thats what i was thinking but just wanted to ask

any opinions on Power Bass amps i can get a new ASA-600.4 through my employer for $135 it will do 400x2 @ 4 so that would work better for me. is PB any good though
