putting two amps together... possable??

[nicksredline 10+ year member]

i was going to try and use to amps to run my subwoofers but would there be any way that i could run them both to one point... speaker wire's from both amps to the connection at the box? would this be bad for anything( i dont know much about doing this) ive seen people run them together but i never seen if they just ran 1 amp to one speakker and one amp to another... i figured it might screw with the total ohms... sorry if this is a new question please dont flame to much lol..

Also is there any way this amp would be good enough to power my 2 12in RE SE 's ?? Powerbass asa 600.2 ( its 600 watts brigged but what does it meen by 1200 max??) also again sorry if this is a newb question but just trying to learn about how things work.

what coils on the ses?

Dual 4 or dual 2?

I would sell the powerbass and buy an audiopipe 1500d ( if on a budget)

well u know lol ur trying to buy them... they are dual 4... so it will have to be a 4 ohm amp unless we swap subs. then i can use my powerbass. get back to me on the deal i offered.

it's called strapping and yes you can do it. Some amps are easier than others because they have built-in slave/master stuff for strapping

so would they have to be 2 of the same amps?? or could i use 2 diffrent types( would they both have to be 1200 persay or could i use a 2k watt amp and a 1.2k amp?

yes 2 of the same and your 2 dual 4 will wire down to 1 ohm. and that audiopipe is 1 ohm stable. Willpower the ses very nice

 

[nicksredline 10+ year member]

yeah but i just dont got the money for them amp lol.. ide like to get urs and just use them on the amp i am geting may not be as loud or sound as nice but i heard they sound descent and give good spl... wish i had the power for my se's

x2 on the ap amp. or just get something like a kicker zx2500.1 and run it at 4ohm until u decide to upgrade and need the extra power, you will thank me for the idea lol

anyone know about this amp??

http://www.allaudioexpo.com/nav/details.asp?itemid=3157&catid=69&tran=fgle

is is a pyle( yes i can spell if u dont get it) of crap or a descent amp for the price.. i dont wana have it and it be super under rated i need it for the se's as stated above.( 2x 12's) rilly i wana give them around 1500 watts for now and see how they like it( when it says 3k total power i think they are saying max power) and 750 watts per channel seems kinda high( maby over rated?)

Careful, you'll get laughed right off the forum asking about an amp like that.

Power ratings on pyramid/pyle/legacy are completely ambiguous, highly inflated numbers to impress people that know NOTHING about 12v audio amplifiers.

You have to look in the manuals for power numbers that are somewhat reliable. Even those are fairly optimistic.

The manual for that amp (your link is to a Pyramid BTW) aren't up yet, but besides one class D amp that was discontinued several years ago Pyramid has never built anything more powerful than 800w or so.

So is that 1615x decent for the money...simply based on power, probably so (700-800w for ~$110). Based on everything else, turn and run.

sell your other stuff and get the audiopipe or a used amp on here. that is your best bet if you want to power the subs correctly

 

[nicksredline 10+ year member]

thanks alot n2 thats what i figured lol... way to cheap to be true.. that or just burns up in a week lol. yeah i guess i was thinking of a sundown or something like that... guess ile look around and try to sell my stuff lol.

 

[BushJ311 5,000+ posts]

yea sundown is a better amp then the audiopipe but if you are short on cash the audiopipe is still a good amp.

Just please do not buy pyle, legacy or any of that crap

actually they do not HAVE to be the same amp, just a lot more difficult (and risky) to strap 2 dissimiliar amps together. Honestly, with the number of 2kW+ amps out there it's not really necessary anymore unless you are competing in a high power class in some SPL org.
