? about ohm load on amp

if I run a 4 ohm SVC off a 4 channel amp with the rear channels briged at 2 ohms will that damage any thing?

How exactly do you plan to run a 4 ohm svc sub @ 2 ohms?

It would be seeing a 4 ohm load.

the sub is 4 ohm

the amp will see 4ohms

if it is bridgeable at 4 ohms

you have no issues //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Near as I can figure he means chan 1+2 run at 2 ohm stereo and chan 3/4 bridged to 4 ohm load (which the amp would see as essentially the same as 2 ohm stereo).

You'll be fine assuming the amp can run down to 2 ohm stereo or 4 bridged. Even assuming the channels were driving different loads, you'd be fine as long as none went LOWER than what it's designed to push.

I was reading the manual on running 3 channels off a 4 channel amp it said that the rear channel bridged would be at 2 ohms . I know I can't wire the sub at 2ohms. the manual confused me.and was woundering if the sub would be fine

sub will be fine 4 ohm bridged is the same as 2 ohm stereo //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Thanks for the help the amp is Boston Acoustic GT-475 sub is Boston g-3 1o SVc

that amp CAN be bridged into 2 ohms, but with that sub it would be at 4.

It's 225 at 4 vs 250 at 2 so no real advantage.
