around 600 watts

why can't you wire down to a lower impedance and adjust the gain accordingly ?

I will be testing mine at 8 ohms soon. Runs at 4 ohms daily for the time being.

then why not just wire to 8 ohm? at 2 ohm it owuld be over double the rms of the sub i have, an eclipse 88120 dual 4 ohm. and at 4 ohm just over the sub ibought, an idmax 12d2, which is fine with me.

and ot those who say wasted power....how so?

would this not be an amp that could power many different setups? i could run anything from a moderate powered dual 4 sub, the eclipse, all the way up to a multiple sub setup adn have power to spare all the way arond.

its not always about getting an amp and using it to its max potential.

i dotn think i can make another thread today, so not to jack this on but...

if you have 4 svc 8 ohm subs, what is the lowest you can wire them down to?

im askin b/c i hooked my 20.1 up to my friends today and was tryin to figure out how much power they were getting...

 

[mattmcss 10+ year member]

lowest would be 2 ohms.

feel ya do whats best for u, 8 ohms should be good though
