Newb question.....

[92statetrooper]

I'm running a mono amp to a pair of 4ohm DVC subs. The amp is rated at 900w rms @ 1 ohm. My question is do the subs see 900 watts each or will it be split it in half? Again, sorry for the newbness...lol

Thanks, Mike

if you wire the woofers in parallel, they will see 900

Your amp will produce 900 watts when presented with a 1 Ohm load. Regardless of how that 1 Ohm load is achieved the amp still outputs the same 900 watts. No matter whether it is a single DVC 2 Ohm driver or four SVC 4 Ohm drivers or a pair of DVC 4 Ohm drivers......the output remains 900 watts.

So - if you have two subs connected showing it a 1 Ohm load (which results in a 900 watt output according to the info you have provided) then that 900 watts is split between the two subs, or 450 apiece.

i think he gets that, i think he just wasnt sure if he was going to get a 1 ohm load.

Well, considering this was the pertinent part of his original post:

I was simply answering what was asked as you apparently were unwilling to.
