Specifications of my KAC-8152 Class D

It says at 2 ohms it has 550 Watts x1 and 4ohms it has 300 watts. thats rms right? My subs say they have 160 rms each and are 600 watts max power each. My amp is 1100 watts max each. Shouldn't the subs be powered nicely if I have both connected. I beeen trying to understand this, do I need dual voice coils with 2 subs to get 2 ohms? because I checked out this site, it says I can only get 8 ohms or 4 ohms with my subs, is that true? because if so then I can't get a nice boost from both. Kinda sucks..

Specs (voice coil) of the subwoofer would help.

 

[gotgohan 10+ year member]

the subwoofer is SVC, 160 rms, 600 watts, 4 ohms each

I'm guessing when you say subs you meant 2.

 

[soul05 10+ year member]

2 single 4 ohms = 2 ohm

what website are u looking at? because youre geting the wrong info

 

[gotgohan 10+ year member]

but how come the sound of the subs goes down dramatically when I hook em both up, the push seesm to double if not triple if I disconnect one..

with monoblock amps...if u have 1 sub connected..its total rms / x number of subs

so if its 500 rms with 1 sub connected..u get 500 watts. if u put 2 subs on..u get 250 each

whats a gain? is that the dB? or hte frequency?

 

[ignoramus 10+ year member]

I think you are talking about the seperate bass boost controller. I believe on the Kenwood amp you have to remove the plate on top to have access to it.

The plate with the Bass boost labeling on it. Don't you have a manual?

 

[gotgohan 10+ year member]

yeah I do I read it, it doesn't specifically say gain. it says somethign else

 

[ignoramus 10+ year member]

Well its the bottom plate and I think the gain is labeled "Input sensitivity" hope that helps.

it says theres a Infrasonic filter switch phase switch, and input sensitivity switch, theres a low pass filter switch too
