Hi there, Im about to try and set up a subwoofer in my car, I have the sub and also a choice of 2 mono block amplifiers to power it.
The Subs specs are:
10"
Nominal impedance 4+4 ohms(Dual Voice Coil)
Power Handling 700w
Maximum Allowable Power(according to manufacturer) 350w (Im not sure if this means rms?)
Amp number One Specs are:
Max Power 1000w
RMS Power Output 410rms - 1 channel @4 ohms
RMS Power Output 555rms - 1 channel @2ohms
(this one has a subsonic filter)
Amp number Two Specs are:
Max Power 800w
RMS Power Output 262rms - 1 channel @4 ohms
RMS Power Output 368rms - 1 channel @2ohms
This is the first time Ive wired up a dual voice coil driver and know there are several different ways to wire it to get different loads (parallel and series)
My question is which amp would I be better off using and what way should I wire the chosen one?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can take the time and point me in the right direction.
