Bronze Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 44 Registered: Nov-05 | im not strapping....but if i have 2 mono amps and two subs...i want more power so i connect one amp to each sub..how do you connect it to the head unit...and..lets say the subs are each 2 ohms each..one amp would power them both at 4 ohms or 1 ohm...but when u put one amp per sub..if they are 2 ohms each..the amp would be at 2 ohms right..or two ohm stable?? tellme if i have this wrong....and for connecting it to the head unit..how would you do that??? |

Bronze Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 48 Registered: Nov-05 | 2 subs......2 ohms each...if you wanted two amps...you would need amps that were two ohm stable correct..because the subs are no longer wired together..therfore the load does not change from two ohms to 1 or 4 correct?? |

Silver Member Username: CadillacdbHouston , TX Post Number: 165 Registered: Aug-05 | Yeah you would need two ohm stable amps .. |
|
Silver Member Username: CadillacdbHouston , TX Post Number: 166 Registered: Aug-05 | BTW what Subs you trying to do this with ? Maybe i can help you figure out what would be the best amps an still be at a reasonable price |

Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 832 Registered: Apr-05 | Cadillac is right, you need to word a little better. Becuase if we were to take it EXACTLY as you said, you would be telling is that you have (2) single voice coil 2-ohm subs, something that does not exist. You better get your facts straight... |

Silver Member Username: SolacedagonyNew Jersey US Post Number: 620 Registered: Oct-04 | Blaine, sometimes HUs have two sets of RCA outs. If yours does, you just hook up one set to each amp. If not, you have two other options that I can think of. 1) You can get Y splitters and hook those to your pre outs and then hook up one set to one amp and one set to another. 2) Your amp might have a set of pre outs on itself. So you hook up a set of RCAs from your HU to amp 1, then from the outs on amp 1 to in on amp 2. If the subs are SVC 2 ohm, then you'll need two ohm stable amp for each sub. You probably want these subs to be the same make/model/size and the amps the same as well. Issac: Why can't there be 2 ohm SVC subs? |

Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 833 Registered: Apr-05 | Not saying they couldn't possibly make SVC 2 ohm subs, but have you ever heard of one? I know I definately haven't. If someone can give me proof that would be cool, until then though, I don't think they make them. |

Bronze Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 54 Registered: Nov-05 | i actualy wasnt talkjing about any specific subs...i was just making sure that when u use two amps..one to each sub..the ohms dont change..hypothetical situation...i used 2 ohms svc without even thinking sorry to confuse u all |
