New member Username: Lilsherm51Johhnstown, PA US Post Number: 6 Registered: Apr-05 | ok ive been lookin at 2 amps, Audiobahn A8000T Mono Amp Max Power: 1600W 4U Mono : 400W x 1 RMS 2U Mono : 800W x 1 RMS and Audiobahn A8002T 2 Channel 1600W Amp 2 x 200W RMS @ 4U 2 x 400W RMS @ 2U 1 x 800W RMS @ 4U could i wire them both up on the mono at 2ohms so each gets 400w? how about the 2 channel....can i wire them each up on there own channel at 2 ohms so they can get 400w each? which one would be better? |

Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 2774 Registered: Dec-04 | either one will work fine I would actually try a JBL bp600.1 if you can find one on Ebay or maybe someone around here is selling one. |
Gold Member Username: FishyTamarac Ft.Laud, FL USA Post Number: 1192 Registered: Sep-04 | Depends on what impedance the subs are. If they are 4 ohm or dual 2 or 8 then a 2 ohm stable monoblock is the way to go. If they are 8 ohm or dual 4 then you'd get the most power out of a 2 channel amp. Oh and calling people names isn't usually the best way to get good help here, regardless of how stupid their comments are. -Fishy |
Gold Member Username: FishyTamarac Ft.Laud, FL USA Post Number: 1193 Registered: Sep-04 | Yeah a JBL BP600.1 would be a good choice unless the subs are 8 ohm. It produces the same amount of power into 1 or 2 ohms. -Fishy |

Silver Member Username: LbecknerTulsa, Ok Usa Post Number: 377 Registered: Oct-04 | I'm sorry, but I was being serious. If the rms of the Sony subs is 350 x 2 = 700watts then you will need about a 2500 watt Audiobahn amp wich will cost the same as the jbl amp wich will put out about the same power. I wasn't trying to be rude, only funny. Sorry man. |
