4 channel bridgeable amps.

Silver Member Username: Kevbo887Post Number: 109 Registered: Sep-05 | Well, after buying that nitro 4 channel amp, and experimenting, I have decided to look for a new amp, one that was decent. Ive figured it, I do not need the rear filled amp, as I barely hear that anyways. My friend saw me browsing some stores online for a good amplifier, and offered me one that he owns for free. He said it still works fine and is in good condition, but he just doesn't use it anymore.....I looked it up online and here it is : http://walmart.scosche-cars.com/products/?sfID1=26&productID=1642&walmartProduct ID=4694342 I know I know it's a Sony, but hey, its free. I have a few questions on this amplifier though. I plan on using 2 of the channels for the two front speakers which now sound amazing amplified (btw im going to ditch that nitro amp when I install this one). The other two im going to bridge toghether for a subwoofer. The thing is, I have two subwoofers lying around my garage. I was wondering, could I wire them both up onto this bridged channel, or only one of them. The subs supports either 2 or 4 ohms! Just curious as to if I tried this if it would ruin anything, or if anyone on here would know! Thanks guys!! |

Silver Member Username: Kevbo887Post Number: 110 Registered: Sep-05 | Evidently that link does not work.....heres what it says though : Any car's system is going to sound better, and look better, when you install the Sony Xplod 600 Watt 4-Channel Amplifier XM-554ZR. Plenty of power, and it's matched with kind of style you want to show off. Technical Information Channel(s) 4 Channel(s) Output Power 4 x 55W RMS @ 4Ohm 4 x 65W RMS @ 2Ohm 1 x 130W RMS @ 4Ohm - Bridged Maximum Power 600W Miscellaneous Additional Information MOSFET power supply |

Silver Member Username: Kevbo887Post Number: 112 Registered: Sep-05 | Well at one point I had the subs hooked up to a mono amplifier. So would that mean that I could bridge the amp with those two subs? Sorry, im stupid! |

Silver Member Username: MakmillionMN United States Post Number: 795 Registered: Apr-06 | You can bridge that amp at 4 ohms.. what ty mutlow is trying to say is it's not 2 ohms stable in bridged mode. |
|
Silver Member Username: Kevbo887Post Number: 113 Registered: Sep-05 | So pretty much, I can only use one of those subs, and not both of them? |
|
Silver Member Username: Kevbo887Post Number: 114 Registered: Sep-05 | Sorry if im being annoying and stupid, I just dont want to ruin either the amp or the subs. Too afraid to experiment for a loss haha. Thanks |

Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 2872 Registered: Sep-05 | how many and what ohm load are the subs |
|
Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 2873 Registered: Sep-05 | sorry, how many voice coils and what ohm load are they |
|
Silver Member Username: Kevbo887Post Number: 115 Registered: Sep-05 | Says single voice coil and 4 ohm. But I always thought you could not use two single 4 ohm voice coils on a mono amp like I used these ones on......gosh im confusing myself haha. |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 5681 Registered: Nov-04 | Kevin, you can use 2 SVC subs on a mono amp as long as you watch the ohms. If the amp is 2ohm stable, it's possible. It's all mathematics. Whether you have 2,3,or 4 subs, as long as they add up, then you're fine. |

Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 2876 Registered: Sep-05 | I would buy a small 2 ohm mono amp and run the subs off that, then amp all your internal speakers with the 4 channel. |

Silver Member Username: Kevbo887Post Number: 116 Registered: Sep-05 | Well, Ill see how the one sub sounds. Like I stated, I dont really want a lot of bass, just enough to equal everything out and not be lacking. I think 150watts to one 10" sub should hopefully suffice my needs. When I had the 2 10" subs in there, thats pretty much all I could heard. I mean, it was nice sometimes, but just plain got annoying after a while. Thanks for all of your help guys!! |
