I need help/advice/recommendations.... noob.

[J.J. 10+ year member]

I have 2 PG MPS 2240 with the following specs below:

Into 4 ohms @ 12.0 VDC -- 24 watts x 2

Into 4 ohms @ 14.4 VDC -- 35 watts x 2

Into 2 ohms @ 14.4 VDC -- 60 watts x 2

Into 1 ohm @ 14.4 VDC -- 93 watts x 2

Into 1/2 ohm@ 14.4 VDC -- 150 watts x 2

Bridged 4 ohms -- 125 watts x 1

Bridged 2 ohms -- 185

Bridged 1 ohm -- 300 x 1

I want to run 1 8w3 v2 bridged at 2 ohms on one amp and a set of comps on the other.

Now it would appear that this amp is going to **** at that with a max of 35 watts. I've been told I can't run the comps in parallel and that I should just get another amp. I really hate to do that.

I have a Precision Power external crossover, so I will be going active. Does this change anything? Should I just get another amp or should I settle on some 2 ohm comps to maximize output?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

I would run the amp and see how you like it. You may be surprised. I use to have a pg zx450 and it was rated at 25x4 but actually put out around 75x4. It was a really clean sound also, gotta love the old pg equipment.

Peace, Lee

Thanks for the recommendation. I will definitely try it and see. I really wish I had a 4 channel amp to run everything though. Problems is, no funds!!

I just can't get my self to sell those two amps. They're oldies but goodies IMO.
