Eclipse Amp ?

[foxracing0934]

I got an Eclipse 34230 amp from one of my buddies, and i was just wondering what it puts out, and what it is worth. I tried finding it on electronic shops sites but i had no luck. Thanks

370w x 2 @ 4ohm.

The amplifier is not 2ohm stable and can not be bridged.

Great amplifier. Owned one myself a few moons ago. Just not very flexible.

Ok, im not that great with electronics so humor me me. So its 370w x 2 @ 4ohms, does that mean 370w for say two subs running at 4 ohms? And if it were only one sub would it be 740w? It came with two 10" MTX's too but the box is huge and will not fit in my truck. I have a fairly decent system in my truck right now but i need a new amp and if this one will work for me then that would be great. Thanks

Two channels.

Each channel can output 370w into a 4ohm load (speaker/subwoofer).

So if you were to connect one subwoofer to each channel, each one could receive 370w.

And if it were only one sub would it be 740w?

Nope.

If you were going to only run a single [4ohm] subwoofer, you could only use one of the channels and it would still only receive 370w.

O.K. I see that everybody will say for these amps that they are not stable at 2 ohms, I just got a hold of 2 15" eclipse dvc's and they from what I read are 6ohm subs and when wired they are brought down to 3.1 ohm!!! Can this amp support a 3.1 ohm setup at each channel? Just curious cause if not I'll have to have the subs playing at 6 and 12 ohms.
