in the manual it says that you can get 2000 RMS with 1 ohm per channel....this is a mono amp but it has 2 negatives and two positives...so im guessing there are two channels....in the pictures in the manual it has 1 sub hooked up to one of the channels (so a wire to a neg. and a pos. and the other two neg. and pos.are left open...so i supose you would get 1000 RMS out of the one speaker...is that right?? and then if u attach another one ohm speaker to the other neg and pos. each speaker would get 500 RMS right...making it 1000 RMS total...is this righ???
does 2000 watts time 1...@ one ohm per channel mean that u can have 1 ohm on one channel...or two 1 ohm speakers on two channels....and get the same wattage (2000 RMS)??
so instead of wiring two subs together to get 1 ohm...i should get 2 2 ohms DVC and wire each of them individulay to 1 ohm...and put each one into a channel...and the amp will still be running at 1 ohm...even though there are 2 sets of one ohm..one ohm into two channel???
so i gues what im trying to say is...if u wire two one ohm speakers...one to each channel of a mono amp....it still is a grand total of one ohm??? so the amp will play at the rated watts for 1 ohm....even if u have 2 separate one ohm speakers ..one to each channel??? is that right?
that amp is a 1ch amp...it just has extra connections to make it easier to wire more than 1 sub to it. (both the +'s are the same channel...so are the -'s....the 1ch is just split into two connections)
if you get two 2ohm subs and wire then in parrallel to that amp...you will get a 1ohm load. If you get two 1ohm subs and wire them in parrallel to the amp you will get a .5ohm load and the amp will prolly go into protection (not a good thing).
heres what i was trying to figure out...tell me if this is right
there are 2 + and 2 - cause they don't want you to bunch up 2 cables in to one terminal. if you only have one sub then you only need to use one set of terminals and if you have two subs then you would use both sets terminals. either way your amp will put out its rated power even if you don't use both sets of terminals
