Hello,
I have a questions that I'm sure is simple for many of you, but confusing to me. I am looking to purchase a Rockford Fosgate R250-1D mono amp. It is rated at 1x150 at 4 ohm, or 1x250 at 2 ohm. I will be hooking it up to a tactile transducer. The transducer is rated at 100-250 watts RMS, and per the instruction manual should be hooked up at 4 ohm, and is best with 150 - 250 watts rms fed into it.
My question is this - The amp says it's wired parallel internally, so when looking at it there are two positive terminals next to two negative terminals, like this I + I I + I I - I I - I It says that it is a 2 ohm minimum. All I want to do is make sure that if I hook up one of these transducers into it, it will be a 4 ohm connection, not 2 ohm, as I don't want to do any damage to the amp or speaker. Also, which positive and negative terminal would I connect to? Or does it even matter?
Based upon the specs I provided for the transducer, does it seem like this amp will be a good fit, pushing 150 w rms into it at 4 ohm, since it calls for 100-250w rms? This will be added to a stock monsoon setup which has a stock sub and factory amp, in a very small car with very limited space (Pontiac solstice), hence my desire for that amp with such a small footprint. I am open for suggestions, but the small footprint of the amp is critical and I like that this amp comes with the external volume/gain control.
I hope what I'm asking is coming out right and making sense. Thanks in advance for your input as to how to be sure I am hooking this up correctly to run this at 4 ohms. Any explanation to your answer will be appreciated.
