Paul van Dyk Bronze Member Username: Pvduk Post Number: 20 Registered: Feb-06	Posted on Wednesday, March 22, 2006 - 23:58 GMT Hi, I have a Phoenix Gold Tantrum 600.4 4ch amp. These are the specs.. 75W rms x 4 (4 ohm stereo) 150W rms x 4 (2 ohm stereo) 300W rms x 2 (4 ohm bridged) I want to use 1+2 channels for front stage and bridge 3+4 for my sub. Is this possible (what do I need to do?), what wattage rms would i get??? Many thanks in advance!

Minimum bridged load - 2ohms Minimum stereo load - 1ohm Maximum power load - 4ohms bridged or 2ohms stereo. Does this mean I still can't run under 4ohms for the bridged 3+4 channels??

I would guess power's about the same and there wouldn't be much to gain and the amp would be stressed.
