which makes more sense?

[12twelve12]

i have two 12" subs that are 300w rms each. they are 4 ohm but i have them wired in parallel which would be the equivalent of 2 ohms, correct?

ok here is my question. i have found a mono amp that puts out 600w at 2 ohms that would give each speaker 300w.

i have also found a 2 channel amp that, when bridged, puts out 600w rms at 4 ohms. what would happen if i connected my paralleled 4ohm speakers to this output? would i have 600w going to each speaker?

both amps are rockford fosgate but the 2 channel is cheaper this is why i ask.

thanks, and sorry if that made no sense at all.

Is the two channel bridged stable at 2 ohms? If so that's the way to go.

mmm that's a new one to me but i know what you're asking since i've seen "stable at 4 ohms" written on some specs. i'll have to check and see.

thanks for that good point

Sure. Or check if it's stable UNbridged at 1 ohm, since that's the same.
