Any possible way?

[exilekiller]

Ok so I got a 4ohm DVC subwoofer 500W RMS RF

my amp is 4 Ohm Bridged RMS Power: 1 x 600 Watts @ 13.8 Volts

I was stupid enough to buy the wrong amp.

Anyway I can get max power without killing hte amp in a week?

what is the 2 channel output at 4 ohms per channel? it should be fairly close to that bridge rating. might be worth it to check.

 

[tommale420]

each coil to each channel or 8 ohms bridged looks like your only option. depending upon the amp, its possible to run it at 2 ohms bridged and be safe

heres an even better question. what amp is it? i cant say i recommend it, but i know of many 2 channel amps that arent rated at 2 ohms bridged but can usually handle it all day no problems.

I have a friend that has a Sony XM-1252GTR and I bridged it to Kicker L515 at a 2 ohm load and it's been running like that daily. The only thing I noticed is that will go into protect if you start clipping the signal. I do not recommend it, we just don't care if the amp craps out.

Its a CADENCE TXA300.2 600 WATT RMS

# 2 Ohm RMS Power: 2 x 300 Watts @ 13.8 Volts

# 4 Ohm RMS Power: 2 x 150 Watts @ 13.8 Volts

# 4 Ohm Bridged RMS Power: 1 x 600 Watts @ 13.8 Volts

# Frequency Response: 20Hz - 30kHz

# Damping Factor: >200 @ 100Hz

# S/N Ratio: >100 db

# Channel Seperation: >65dB

# Minimum THD:

IDK what some of this means but can i set it up in 2 channel for each dual coil and if so how do i do that?

Sorry for the double post, just still wondering how to set it up in 2 channel per voice coil to get close to the 600RMS

# 4 Ohm RMS Power: 2 x 150 Watts @ 13.8 Volts - It can either be run like this.

or

You can see how the amp handles being bridged @ 2ohms or 8ohms.

postive and negative of one coil to positive and negative of one channel, then ditto. but 4 ohms a channel or 8 ohms bridged is gonna sound the same. if your gonna push 2 ohms bridged, you can, just start with the gain very low and work your way up. HOPEFULLY, if it cant handle it, it will go into protection, then youll know and youll still have an amp. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I tested it out at 2 ohms and played it for about 20 minutes, it was pretty hot.

Switched it to 8ohms and seems much better temp wise and still is decent bass

Also I touched the ground and it was really hot, should I switch it to a different place?

8 ohms is the safe route so good call. where is it grounded now? or did i miss that part? regardless, the frame of your car is the #1 spot. scrape the hell out of the spot til its nice and clean

I have a dodge ram and its screwed into the body of the car. It seems thin but its metal. Is the ground suppose to give off any heat at all?

You need to find a better ground connection.
