I should be upgrading my sound system soon and when I do so I'll have a 185WRMS @ 4ohm amp left over. I also happen to have a couple of spare old subs/speaker boxes which are rated at 150WRMS each with an 8ohm impedance.
I need to know if it's ok to run both subs on this amp. How I see it is with both in parallel I get 4ohms and at best 92.5WRMS to each box.
I have run it a bit like this and they seem to run fine with no distortion and the amp heats up a little more than usual but not too hot imo. I just want to make sure that 57.5WRMS under what the speakers/subs are rated is fine for daily use.
btw I am using a Pioneer GM-3500T 2 channel amp.
so my other option is to have them each at 60WRMS but then they'll be at a higher impedance than the amp can handle(8>4), so I believe the way I stated before is more suitable.
Let me know if this is ok for daily use, Cheers.
