ARC AUDIO 1500v1 vs 2500xxk

[DoubleBass07 10+ year member]

I Have a Arc Audio 2500xxk & 1500v1 xxk, If I wire the 1500v1 mono sub to 2 ohm

load vs 2500xxk at a 4 ohm,would thier be be any sound diffrence in SQ

of course I would macth the correct woffers with their ohms,so basicly 2ohms vs 4ohms set up.Which amp would you go with. I would use two w6 2 or 4 ohms.

arc audio 1500v1 xxk

4 ohms 500 watts rms

2 ohms 1000 watts rms

vs

Arc audio 2500xxk

4 ohms brigged 1050 watts rms

They are essentially the same amp, just the 1500 is a mono version. I would go with whichever allows for easiest wiring. Both amps have astronomical damping to begin with, so it really has no effect on the woofers which direction you go.

I'd use the 1500 and then use the 2500 on my fronstage, but that's me.

cool, I already have a 4150xxk for the componentes Polk SR6500 front, SR5250 rear doors ,It just that they say 4 ohms is the most efficient set up for SQ

so I was thinking the 2500xxk set up at 4ohms briged 1050 watts rms

but right now I will only run One Woffer JL 12W3V3 4 ohm Stealgh box,so then mabey the 1500v1 xxk would fit better since it only spits 500 watts at 4 ohms,then later when I upgrade a couple woffers I would do the 2 ohm load.

I need to pick one for the woofer set up if i go with the 2500xxk i can lower the gain down for the time being until sub upgrade etheir two jlw6 or two 12's Alumapro Alchemy RX.I realy want the best sound Quality possible but if their is no diffrence between the 2ohm load vs the 4 ohm load then I will choose the 1500v1 xxk
