Concept 2410 Question

[PollyCranopolis 10+ year member]

I have a Concept 2410 and 2, PG RSD 12's (single 4ohm VC). Might seem like a dumb question, but how would I go about wiring these subs to the amp? My 2 12's would be giving the amp a 2 ohm load. There are 2 sets of +/- terminals, then an option to bridge across them both. Do I want to bridge both these subs across both sets of terminals, or simply use one set of +/- inputs for each speaker? Thanks!

BTW...The closet audio shop here (30 minutes) is "Sound Gallery" Their retail markup is crazy. I was talking to one of their guys about my Concept amp, and he argued with me up and down, swearing it was a 2 channel amp because of the multiple inputs, and scoffed at the idea that it would be anywhere near stable at 1ohm for daily driving.

u could do it either way just make sure the amp sees no lower than a 1 ohm load, i don't know if it is stable below that. BTW do those amps put out rated power or anywhere close to it? I was thinking about getting a couple

Either way? Will it be seeing the same load either way? Why the double outputs for a mono amp?

why would you waste that powerful amp on those subs, the subs only like 400 watts a piece that amp will give atleast 1100+ at 2 ohm and double that at 1 ohm, you should sell that amp to me then go get your self a nice 4 channel for half the money bridge that on those subs, and it would sound better!!

Nahh... don't do that D>a/b for subs for the reason of efficiency alone..

Plus you can always get to more RSD's in the future to run on that concept amp.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Nice amp and it will work just fine with those subs.. set the gain correctly and LOVE IT!! You can use either +/- they put 4 imputs on there to make it easy if you want to power 4+ subs that way you arn't trying to cam 4 wires in to 1 hole //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

So in other words, just use 1 set of +/- terminals for each sub like I have it, and dial in the gains.
