New member Username: Ph7ryanCumming, GA United States Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-09 | I am going to try and power 2 of these (http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8905_Rockford+Fosgate+Punch+P3D415.html#) on one of these (http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_14910_Power+Acoustik+BAMF-4000-1D+-BAMF40001 -D-.html) the only problem is that when all of the VC's are on one load, they are running at 1 ohms, and the RMS at 1 ohms is 2200. Each VC can handle 500 RMS, X4= 2000 RMS....Would this extra 200 RMS matter, and would I have an issue with these components matching...thanks for any help I try to learn as much as possible to not ask so many questions but sometimes you have to...sorry for sounding like a little noob asking for help... |

If you think it is too much, just turn the gain down on the amp. Also, if you want to wire 4 subs to a 1 ohm load, you will need to get the Dual 2 ohm models. |

New member Username: Ph7ryanCumming, GA United States Post Number: 4 Registered: Jun-09 | ok...thanks for the reply...but if each VC is 4 ohms, then when one sub is wired with both VC's on one load it would be 2 ohms right...and then if each sub is running at 2 ohms, wouldn't both subs on one load be 1 ohm? Thanks again BTW |

Post Number: 6725 Registered: Feb-06 | you're right, 2 dual 4ohm subs will wire down to 1ohm. i think the way you're wording your posts had donnie confused, it does look like you're talking about 4 subs from the way you're typing. and when you look at a sub to purchase and the rms says 500w, that's 500w for the sub, not each voice coil. honestly you'll probably be fine (not 100% sure though) with those 2 subs and that amp. there's no way in hell that thing is doing 2200wrms @ 1ohm. i'd be willing to guess half that just based on everything i've read about that brand. and to let you know, pa does suck so you'd be better off with another amp. |

You need a HO alternator. Assuming you already have that, most speakers/subs will handle more power than rated, as long as it's clean! That is, no clipping/distortion. If the numbers you're talking about are real, you'd go deaf long before the sub/amp reaches 2200w. |
