This is like a impossible set up? Can anyone help me?

****, how much rms will the power acoustik be putting out at just one channel? because it can be bridged but only at 4 ohms that why i was scared to try it:/ so i got on here to see

According to the specs you posted, it does 280w rms x 2 channels at 2 ohms

i know lol, i got it for free band new i was just seeing if i could use it or not. No goal, so imma try n sell it if it doens't work n find one that will amaze me

I mean either amp will do about the same. PA amps are historically OVERrated though. I'm not sure about the new MTX amps, but my old ones are UNDERrated and are beast.

For a practical illustration, you could technically run 2 of those sub setups on the PA amp, one per channel.

How do i do that? and will that put out more poweR?

so in reality it will be pushing 280 to each sub? so if its mostly underrated amp so it will be right within the range of a good amp for it? correct?

Here is what I would do if I were you:

1. Run the MTX amp and subs as they came in a set.

2. Run that PA amp, and find different subs that can be wired to a 4 ohm final load. (Single D2/Dual D4/Singl S4/etc)

Now, if you have room for 2 of those sub boxes and want to run the PA amp on them, you could do that. If you want something you won't be disappointed by, I'd set all of the stuff you have aside and spend some cash for better stuff. You can make that decision.

Nope. It pushes 280w per CHANNEL. You are wiring the 2 subs into ONE channel, therefore it will get 280w for BOTH subs to split. Are you following?

Yea bro, i know that i didn't mean for it to come out like that im not slow, but like i meant could you wire it to put like say, 280 out of each channel, could you wire it to wear your using both channel's to the terminators? or that isn't possible you know i mean? like then with both channels putting 280 a piece or w.e? idk it prob won't work just a thought.

and what would happen if i did bridge it? just for the record

Well, each sub is probably a single 4 ohm. So you could run each channel to a sub and see 220w (rated) per sub. Remember that amp is over rated though, so it's probably lower than that.

That is probably the ideal way to use that PA amp and those subs. You will need another terminal on the box though.

Damnn, its just killing me. How could you put another terminal on the back of the subs tho so thats only way that will work?

because that probally will be even more work then anything so F that. i wish you could run something like a series or wire it without doing anything else to make it work that way:/

You could drill a hole behind each sub and run a wire direct from sub to amp and seal the hole with caulk or silicone. That would be a cheap fix to that issue.

Okay, first thanks for helping second, how would i run it? just real quick to know because i will do that here asap if i know how to do it? because behind each sub theirs a place for 2 wires from each sub? like + - on one sub and the same on the other? or how could i do it?

You would wire each sub to a channel on the amp. Nothing fancy, just sub one to channel one and sub two to channel two. Done.
