Can Somebody Tell Me ????

but they are right about finding one that is 2ch and bridging it... most mono amps make max power at 1 ohm rather than two...

I've Done That Before But The Amps Turn Off In A Few Minutes...

Which Amp Do You Recommend That Won't Do That ???

 

[AcidicDreams 10+ year member]

well most amps aren't stable at 2 ohm bridged and won't make shit for power at 8 ohm bridged.. to be honest I forgot you needed power at 2ohms... your kind of in a bind seeing how getting 1000w @ 2 ohm will make both types of amps very expensive b/c the 2 ch will need to be stable at 2ohm bridged which is rare and the mono will be making 1000w @ 2ohm which means it's probably making 2000w+ at 1 ohm... which also makes that option expensive... There is an Alpine and the JL 1000/1 that meet your needs but a subs than wire up to 4ohms and 1ohm are easier to work with

ohh and the amps are shutting off b/c they are not 2 ohm stable... anyways here are some amps that will suit your needs:

Mono amps:

Visonik V918XD

JL 1000/1

Power Acoustik A1000DB

Try making a thread called:

Need an amp that makes 1000w @ 2ohm mono

IIRC Visonik rates their amps at 17v

find a phoenix gold tantrum 1200.1. its a mono amp that does 1200-1400 watts at 1-4 ohms. they dont make em any more but you can find em on ebay for less than $300 usually.

phoenix gold R15.0:1, 1000 watts rms at 2 ohms, $250

I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO SOUND STUPID, BUT HOW DO YOU PUT THE AMP AT 2 OHMS ? OR 4 OHMS ?

I DON'T GET THAT, ALL AMPS SPECS ARE.... EXAMPLE 200 WATTS RMS @ 4 OHMS AND 400 RMS @ 2 OHMS.. ???//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blush.gif.99bc659ee2012b7d826165e26fb5eebe.gif

DO I HAVE TO CHANGE MY SUBWOOFER WIRING TO MAKE THE AMP 2 OR 4 OHM ???

Yes, you have to change your subwoofer wiring to make the amp perform at whatever nominal impedence you're wanting to use. You can't "make" an amplifier 2 Ohms or otherwise....you're presenting a certain impendence or another to it by wiring your subs however you wire them and then the amp operates at whatever output it operates at for that resistance amount (Ohms being the measurement of electrical resistance)

Here's the wiring guide I always refer people to....it's basic and doesn't take into account any voice coil options besides 2 or 4 Ohm but it's a good start for reference. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Hope I've helped somewhat!

What's Up Prowler573

Thanks For Your Help Man.

Let Me Get This Straight.... My Subs Have 4 Ohm Voice Coils And They Are Wired At 8 Ohms. If I Put A 2 Channel Amp I Will Be Running The Amp At 4 Ohms ???

And If I Wire My Subs At 2 Ohms I Will Be Running My Amp At 2 Ohms ???

What's Up Prowler573Thanks For Your Help Man.

If I've been a help at all, you're welcome.

Let Me Get This Straight.... My Subs Have 4 Ohm Voice Coils And They Are Wired At 8 Ohms.

They are wired at 8 Ohms if the coils are wired in series with each other (positive output from the amp to one coil's positive input ~ That same coil's negative input connected to the OTHER coil's positive input and the second coil's negative input connected to the negative output on the amp)

If I Put A 2 Channel Amp I Will Be Running The Amp At 4 Ohms ???

I'm not entirely understanding this question....if you take a 2 channel amp and bridge it to run as a single mono channel then you'd want the impedence presented to it to be no lower than 4 Ohms as most multichannel amps (most but not all) are not stable lower than 4 Ohms when in bridged mode.

And If I Wire My Subs At 2 Ohms I Will Be Running My Amp At 2 Ohms ???

If you present the amp with a 2 Ohm load then (assuming it is stable doing such) it will be running at 2 Ohms, yes.


I'll put it this way....if your subs are single voice coil drivers and each coil is 4 Ohms then your two options are wiring in series to get 8 Ohms or wiring in parallel to get a 2 Ohm load. With those two figures in mind find yourself something that will either output around 1200 watts (subwoofers rated @ 600w RMS times two subs) at 2 Ohms OR 2400 watts at 4 Ohms to give around 1200w when presented with an 8 Ohm load.

I would suggest that the 1200w @ 2 Ohms would be considerably more economical //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

OK .. LET ME TRY TO MAKE THIS A LITTLE MORE CLEAR......

RIGHT NOW MY SUBS ARE WIRED @ 8 OHMS AND I HAVE A TWO CHANEL AMP THAT PUSHES 175 WATTS PER CHANEL @ 4 OHMS AND 350 PER CHANEL @ 2 OHMS....

HOW DO GET THE 350 WATTS PER CHANEL ???

IN OTHER WORDS HOW DO I MAKE MY AMP RUN @ 2 OHMS ???//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blush.gif.99bc659ee2012b7d826165e26fb5eebe.gif

THANKS I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELPeace:
