Hey, all. Car audio is one of those things I have a hard time understanding no matter how much I read. I can never seem to wrap my head around it. So here's my situation, and I hope I can get some help:
I just bought two (2) 10" RF Punch series P210S4 subs from my friend for $50. They're 4ohm stable, SVC, and each is 200W RMS.
I've been trying to determine what I need in an amp. At work yesterday, I saw this page (and the attached diagram) on Crutchfield:
Crutchfield.com/S-91ocQZfynQX/learn/how-to-match-subwoofers-and-amplifiers.html
My understanding from the chart and the diagram is that I can use a 2ohm mono amp and run the subs in parallel to keep the impedance at 4ohms for each sub. With that in my head, I ordered a Kenwood eXcelon x500 (500W RMS 2ohm mono amp).
So bottom line is I'd like to know if I should be excited for my amp or if I need to return it and buy something else. Thank you for reading and for helping out if you can.
