Wiring Options for PG 4.0:2...2 or 4ohms?

[pcnbaseball44 10+ year member]

Well im having my comps hooked up this tues. and i was lookin through the amp manual and it showed a way to wire up the components to get a 2 ohm load and this amp puts out 75 x 2 @ 4ohms but it puts out 125 x 2 @ 2ohms (both RMS). Should i wire them for a 2 ohm load or is there a "con" to that? The Rev's have a RMS of 70 watts so im not really sure, but i know that more power can never really hurt if you use the gain and everything controllably. What should I do?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

The only way to get a 2 ohm load is with more than one set of components. It can't be done with a single set and if you were to do it you would actually be getting less power to each set, because the total power per channel is divided among the drivers on that channel. Just wire them normally, since that is really your only option with what you have.

Agreed with Helotaxi.

If you have a 4ohm component set, then you don't have a choice. Your amplifier will see a 4ohm load.
