600 @ 8

[IDSkoT 5,000+ posts]

Hey, guys. I was looking into buying a sub from Nismo (well, when I get the dough). It's a SVC @ 8.

Does anyone know an amp that'll do ~600 @ 8?

Any quality amp that does 1200 x 1 @ 4 ohms should do 600 @ 8 ohms.

You just don't see many people running 8 ohm loads, so you usually won't see that in the spec sheet often.

I have a couple of TIPS modded Linear Powers that will do close to that power rating @ 8 ohms. Also, I believe my 25 to Life Punch 150 would also put out close to 600 watts @ 8 ohms mono since its 4 ohm stereo birth sheet rating is 300 and change per channel.

mot many options that will be cost effective really. your best bet is getting a big os amp. maybe if your lucky you can come across another one of those subs to get a 4 ohm load.

x2, running that particular ohm load now would cost alot to get that kind of power. old school is ur best bet imo

Yeah. I mean, the common order multiplies by 2 each time you divide the resistance by 2.

600 @ 8 = 1200 @ 4 = 2400 @ 2, etc.

At least, that's the pattern I've seen.

There are some amps who give out more or the same at two different resistances. JBL amps are infamous for doing this. I think they have one that does 1200 @ 4, then 1100 @ 2.

mine will do 1100 rms at 4 and 1200 at 2 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Have a link? I can't seem to find it. Maybe I'm just retarded.

I see you're doin' it with 16 ohms.

What's the price range on it?

There are some pix of the 200x4 on ampguts to give you an idea, no 500x2 though.

I was sorta in the same boat with 2 kicker solo-barics and I couldn't find an 8ohm amp at all so I went with old school PPI that does 1400wrms at 4ohms bridged, but luckily I have 2 amps that I can get to a 4ohm load. Is JL and Alpine able to do it with their RIPS technology?

Thanks.

Looks like I'll have to save up.
