Hey got a friend who has just bought a system and I tried to help him out b/c I know a thing or 2 and he don't know crap. He won't listen though so I was wonderin if u all could help me out to help my friend and prove to him that hes screwin up his system, but maybe hes not heres his set up, pretty sure, this from memory:
Two(2) Pioneer Single voice coil 12" 4-ohm Impedance
Amp is 75wx2 or 150 watts bridged into a 4 ohm load. (I think its an American Eagle Amp or sometin like that or Phoenix Gold maybe)
Anyway he has them bridged wired in series for an 8-ohm load and he already has a weak amp. He bought it used from a guy who used it to power two 6x9 component speakers. I suggested wiring them in parallel in bridged mode b/c with 2 Single voice coil subs at 4-ohms that would make a 2 ohm load, Right? The amp is supposedly stable at 2 ohms so I thought this would be a better alternative. I guess he could give each sub their own channel. Any suggestions
P.S. I kno many ppl use this b/c they wanna hide their true nature or whatever but I would never have bought this stuff, Im new but better than that.
