split ohms?

[curtist]

Hey, I was wondering if it's possible to run some components at two ohms off of the front two channels of an amp and then run a sub bridged at four ohms off of the back two channels? The components are id cxs62v2 and the sub is an old school type r 4 ohm svc. I want to run the 2 ohm version of the id's so I don't have to break the bank getting an amp that is powerful enough and don't want to have to run two amps. This might be a dumb question but it's something I can never get a clear answer on. Any info is appreciated.

depends on the amp

any suggestions for around $300-350? The comps will handle up to 175rms according to id's site and the type r is rated at 500 i think.

this.............. most of the amps out there should perform with that setup just fine but it does depend on the amp.

Should work just fine.

The MB Quart DSC4125 might be what you're looking for. It'll do 125 x2 @ 4 ohms + 500 x1 @ 4 ohms. It's cheap too.

EDIT: Just noticed you want 2 ohm comps. The DSC4125 is rated for 250 x2 @ 2 + 500 x1 @ 4...

if youve got 300-350 to work with and dont want to run two seperate amps, you can surely find a 5 channel amp with that budget and that will suit you perfect.

well i wasnt planning on running anything in the back but the stockers off of the hu for now but the extra channels wouldnt hurt incase i wanna throw something back there later on.

buy 4 ohm comps with high sensitivity rating.

 

[curtist]

so could i run two ohms on the front and four on the back with that mb cause that would give me some headroom on the id's and be perfect for the type r.

That's the thing is I had this bright idea and got a hell of a deal on these id's before i knew if it was possible to do what i wanted to do. i seen em and got excited and bought em lol
