2 x 175W @ 4 ohms (0.05% THD)

2 x 250W @ 4 ohms (

2 x 330W @ 2 ohms (0.5% THD)

2 x 450W @ 2 ohms (

2 x 500W @ 1 ohm (

1 x 1000W @ 2 ohms bridged (

Fuse: 3 x 30A

Same board as:

. Arc 1500DR

Beefy!

And your answer is right there in black an white. Wire each sub on one channel at 2 ohms and they will see 450w apiece.

Sorry but I dont **** all about wiring off the top of my head. I saw it said 2 X450 @ 2ohms, but it also says 330W @ 2ohms

Doesnt make sense to me how you say it though, because the OHm symbol on the amp over each chanel is a 1ohm symbol....

Im lost here

The 1 ohm designation ober the amp output probably just means it's 1 ohm stable. If you re-read the specs, you'll see that the difference in power levels at 2 ohms is because of a difference in the amount of thermal distortion you allow. But sub-1% is fine for a sub, so you can go ahead and set it up for 450w per channel.

I'll make an ms paint drawing to show what it means, I dont wanna **** shit up more than i already have. Im gonna buy another amp tomorro but itll take a while to get to me, this is gonna replace a busted amp for temp

I know what you're talking about. I saw it on the ampguts pics. It just means it's one ohm stable on each channel

Thats exactly what the amp looks like, shitty drawing sorry

Oh sweet your already in here lol, ok I really dont get what these dual chanels mean and what not but is there anyway to wire it without me taking the drivers out of my box (itll be a hue pain)

I basically have the 2 woofers I need to amp wired with all there +'s together and all -'s together with a POS and NEG coming out of the back of the box. Anyway to make it work with just these 2 wires?

I just bought a Visonik 4000D amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

looks pretty self explanitory...each channel is one ohm stable, and it's 2ohm stable when bridged.

The only way that will work is if you don't mind each sub only seeing 250w for a little while. Then you can just hook those wires up to one channel and leave the other channel alone. I don't think these amps are bridgeable, so the only way to hook them up would be to pull them and re wire or run them on a single channel.

Unless you have a terminal cup on your box that you can remove and just pull the wires through to wire the subs down to 4 ohms (series-parallel). Then you could get 900w bridged at 4 ohms. That should work
