I am confused on this amplifier

is it rated for either 525 x 2 @ 2ohms or 1050 x 1 @ 4ohms bridged

-or-

525 x 2 @ 2ohms plus 1050 x 1 @ 4ohms bridged

I am almost positive it is the first option, but Im not sure.

270x2 @4 ohms, 525x2 @2 ohms, & 1,050x1 @4 ohms bridged

I saw that "&" which is what confused me

there are 3 things stated, so im not sure if the "and" is implying it does have the additional power of 1050 x 1 or if it is just another option

anybody else? I want to be positive before I buy one.

I guess I'm not sure what you are asking. It's a two channel amp with the above three options...you can run both channels into a 4 ohm load, OR both channels into a 2 ohm load, OR bridge both channels to a 4 ohm load.

You have these 3 options ^ thadman, but only one of them at a time!

Its the 2500, not 5500 get it??

Yes, I understand. I WAS under the impression that it was 2500 (2 channels 500 per channel) but the "and" confused me and I wasnt sure if it was with the addition of a subwoofer channel or not.

Nonetheless, it is an awesome amp!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Im sure it is an amazing amp but at its current street price it goes for more than an Orion 2500D.

I plan on running Feandil/Ologys custom components and a D9 15 d2 (my current subwoofer, I am contemplating selling it and buying an IDMax)

How would a Soundstream Van Gogh VGA600.2 and Soundstream VGA800.2 (sub amp 800 x 1 @ 4ohms bridged) sound with the above components?

Would the IDMax be noticeably louder than the D9 with 800 watts (would they both be MUCH louder given more power). Would it be worth the hassle to sell the D9 15 for an IDMax 12?

would his components need more than 100x2@4/200x2@2? The VGA400.2 is ~$60-40 cheaper than the VGA600.2 (150x2@4/300x2@2)
