[QUOTE="bdjacks, post: 3457981, member: 581743"] The confusing part is that there are 2 different 4 ohm mono rms outputs that I see. The 380 figure and the 530 figure that only appears on the sticker on the amp itself. So what makes the difference here? is it the higher power going to the amp? (14.4 vs the 12) Is that the difference in power output? An extra 150 watts from 2 more volts? And lets say that the amp is only stable to 4 ohms bridged. What's the real risk in trying to run it at 2? Will it do dammage to the subs or just the amp or neither? Will it start clipping? And if that 530 figure does represent only 4 ohms with a higher power source then if I ran it stereo and wired the subs at 2 ohms that is normally rated for 190 rms each then woulldn't my higher power source boost the 2 ohm stereo load substantially? Say up to 265 each? Therefore taking away the need to risk it by running it bridged at 2 ohms? Would that end result be the same? And would that risk cliping? [/QUOTE]
