Sub to Bridge

Brian Yorks New member Username: Phenixdragon Post Number: 2 Registered: Jun-05	Posted on Tuesday, June 28, 2005 - 19:28 GMT I am about to pick up 3 MTX Thunder6000s that are 4 ohms. I am also looking at picking up the Audiobahn A8002T. I am told by the shopt hat has the MTXs that right now they are wired on a 4 ohm load and that I could use a 2 channel amp bridged to 4 ohms or if I had a mono amp with 4 ohms. Now anohter shop told me I can not use a 2 channel amp that is bridged at 4 ohms for a sub. Is that true? Can I use a 2 channel amp bridged for the subs? The subs are singal coils and not dual. Thanks!

I don' really know how they connected 3 4ohm driver to get 4ohm output.. it's sound impossible.. With 3 drivers 4ohm/each, you will get the following output. Serie ---> 12ohm parallel ---> 1.33ohm parallel and serie ---- > 2.67ohm now you should know which amp you're looking for

Both of them are wrong with some very simple concepts 3 4ohm SVC subwoofers making a 4ohm load? It's impossible. The only load you can achieve is 1.34ohms. Of course you could bridge a 2 channel amp to run subwoofers. Why else would they make them bridgeable for a mono signal? The amp you have chosen will not work with 3 subwoofers. It won't take the load. Try to find a mono amp that is 1ohm stable and puts out around 1000wrms.

I found out the subs are 1 coil 12 ohm. What they told me today that it will be a 4 ohm hook up to the amp. Is that true?
