2</p><p></p><p>DimmuBorgir932 (12:00:33 PM): and i dont wanna give it the wattage @ 8 ohms</p><p></p><p>DimmuBorgir932 (12:00:40 PM): nah it would void my warranty</p><p></p><p>DimmuBorgir932 (12:00:42 PM): just got it</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:00:54 PM): how would they know the difference</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:00:58 PM): what brand is it?</p><p></p><p>DimmuBorgir932

model number 300-804</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:02:29 PM): oh your fine</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:02:34 PM): run it at 2</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:02:52 PM): i had a BASH amp, the cheapy from there... and it ran fine at 1 ohm</p><p></p><p>DimmuBorgir932 (12:02:53 PM): dude im not running it at 2 ohms because you sent the wrong sub</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:02:59 PM): being it was a 4 ohm amp</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:03:05 PM): lol it'll be fine</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:03:14 PM): its not worth sending the sub back for a new one</p><p></p><p>DimmuBorgir932 (12:03:22

know that at all mabye after a call to the techs at parts express</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:04:04 PM): after impedence rise you will probably be past 4 ohm anyway</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:04:12 PM): the amps are tested with a 4 ohm resistive load</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:04:36 PM): thats why you can normally run any quality (insert ohm load) amp at half its rated load</p><p></p><p>DimmuBorgir932 (12:04:49 PM): no clue what ya mean im just a noob but ya dont want that sub running that low without double checking</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:05:11 PM): the load the amp actually sees will be higher than what is stamped on the back of the woofer</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:05:18 PM): it rises</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:05:24 PM): "normal" is double</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:05:41 PM): if your doing a big ported box it'll probably be more than double</p><p></p><p>DimmuBorgir932 (12:05:45 PM): why didnt ya just send the right sub lol

(12:06:41 PM): im gonna calls parts express first</p><p></p><p>DimmuBorgir932 (12:06:57 PM): it says right on it not 2 ohm stable</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:07:00 PM): they are gonna tell you to not do it lol</p><p></p><p>DimmuBorgir932 (12:07:19 PM): prob cuz they know its just not they greatest idea</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:07:20 PM): yea, but ive tested many an amp</p><p></p><p>DimmuBorgir932 (12:07:30 PM): the*</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:07:32 PM): and nearly all handle half their rated load</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:07:46 PM): you will actually get rated power out of the amp</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:07:53 PM): instead of closer to what its rated for @ 8 ohm</p><p></p><p>DimmuBorgir932 (12:08:01 PM): so if its 240 @ 4 how much would i get at 2</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:08:10 PM): probably about 240</p><p></p><p>speakerman525 (12:08:10 PM): lol</p><p></p><p>DimmuBorgir932 (12:08:11 PM): ahhhhh if</p><p></p><p>speakerman525
