I understand its an A/B so its less efficent for subs. But does this mean i shouldnt use it, or does it mean its not "optimal" to use. Basically i can pick a 600.2 up for 70 in good condishon. good idea or wait for a mono

What subs and what ohm load?

JBL p1022 dual 2, wired in series for 4ohm load. P600.2 bridged is 600rms @ 4ohms. sub calls for 400rms @ 4ohms

cool, because i had a kendwood 2ch bridged 500 @ 4ohms and i thought it sounded good. Just didnt want to pay for a amp thats im not even going to get to use for a while. Whats the way of thinking for mutli chan amps on subs, like u only get 80% rms? or what

I do, its just starting to work less and less and i honestly dont even want to send it in right now. Im to fustriated with it, plus the sub sounds better at 4ohms, i tryed it on several amps and it really does. On the memphis sounded just as good at 4ohms vs 1ohm, had it set to 650rms @ 1 and its only 300 @ 4ohms. Honestly when i changed it to 4ohms it sounded good, was plenty of bass to all the songs i heard....then it stopped playing and i got mad again lmfao this amp is killing me

Went to pic it up today and this thing looks new, only marks ANYWHERE were slight rings on the mounting feet from washers. It sounds good but he didnt have the remote so its not doing rated right now. But i ordered one off ebay for 30bucks, plus i only paid 70 for it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif amazon has 2 used ones for 215 and 225.
