NOw there are subs listed with this that say they are 500 rms watts each. Does that mean u can bridge both of them and get the full potential of the subs. Or does that mean the AMP would only be pushing half the subs power?
lol i didnt, but i jus want to know so i know what to look for and understand how it works. Like i know the hifonics bxi1606 is good, but i dont know what subs i could get that wouldnt blow the subs. Thats why i was hoping for some education about the amp channels and stats, and other things like, would u bridge 2 subs.
If this is reffering to the p3's then this amp will only push one of those subs, or two subs way under powered.
Where is says 250x2@ 2ohms RMS POWER, that is saying 250 ACTUALL WATTS per channel (the x2 is that wattage per however many channels, in this case 2).
The OHM part is the resistance a sub will make when connected to an amp (so basically match this up with the sub/s).
When it says 500x1@ 4ohms RMS POWER, that is saying 500 watts actuall power (watts RMS is actuall power you will see). Again, the X1 is power per channel. In this case since it says "1", that means the amp is bridged, or in some cases it will say this when refering to monoblock amps, simply becouse they have one channel.
The reason is says 4 ohms (when bridged in this case) is becouse when you add 2 channels of an amp together, or "bridge" the resistance (ohm, impendence) will then double.
Now since the P3's need 500 watts rms each, you will need a 1000 watt RMS amp. So basically that amp simply wont wont put out enough power to both subs, no matter what you do.
I'm sure you probably knew alot some of this stuff I covered, but I will sleep better now that you know for sure!
The type R's are 500/600 watts, you might be thinking of the type x's. In terms of having the gain all the wait up and the volume all the way up, it's not recommended. What is recommended is setting your gains properly. You can get a test CD or just look around online on how to do so. Gains set properly, you won't blow almost any sub with any amp (of course there are some that can).
