Okay I've read every sticky on this forum including the amplifiers, gains, setting tuturials, etc.
I have a Soundstream Van Gogh 1600.2 amp...capable of
400x2 4ohms
800x2 2ohms
1600x1 bridged 4ohms mono
my question after reading amplifier setting tutorial, Is it possible for me to run my VGA to my front components without actually blowing it?
Hertz HSK 165 L
125watts RMS 4ohms
250watts PEAK 4ohms
If i set the gains real low and according to this table chart i got from the amp setting tutorial sticky
Table:50 Watts -- 1.0 Ohms, V=7.07 -- 2.0 Ohms, V=10.0 -- 4.0 Ohms, V=14.14 -- 8.0 Ohms, V=20.0
100 Watts -- 1.0 Ohms, V=10.0 -- 2.0 Ohms, V=14.14 -- 4.0 Ohms, V=20.0 -- 8.0 Ohms, V=28.28
150 Watts -- 1.0 Ohms, V=12.24 -- 2.0 Ohms, V=17.32 -- 4.0 Ohms, V=24.49 -- 8.0 Ohms, V=34.64
200 Watts -- 1.0 Ohms, V=14.14 -- 2.0 Ohms, V=20.0 -- 4.0 Ohms, V=28.28 -- 8.0 Ohms, V=40.0
I can get the recommended wattage without going over the peak limit of my components thus not blowing them at all...
Any one with experience or educated opinions let me know...And I have read everything here so I'm just trying to better understand amps and their limits
by the way my amp puts out 26.6V at max setting using the digital multimeter
