non-symmetrical output...

[snfsh79077 10+ year member]

so I was bored and got to brain storming about random ish. DD makes an amp that has non-symmetrical outputs. I was wondering if multi channel amps are capable of running at two different ohm loads to achieve the same affect.

For instance, take a 4-channel amp that is lets say rated at 75 rms @ 4ohm and 150rms @ 2 ohms per channel. In an active situation you run the front channels (tweeters) at 4 ohms achieving your 75rms then run the rear channels (woofers) at 2 ohms achieving 150rms.

Is this possible or would it cause major problems?

Also if someone wants to donate an amp I would be happy to experiment over christmas break..

Yes there are amps that can run two channels at a certain impedance and the other two at another.

You've never heard of 4channels being used to run the front end off two channels and then bridging the rear channels for subs?

No need to experiment. It's been done //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

there are lots of instances where ppl will runa 4 channel and have diffrent loads on the outputs

Yeah that's what I said clown.

thats why there are 2 gain level knobs on 4channel amps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
