    I run two 8 ohms subs in series.
    They sound great i'm hearing sounds i never heard before wheni ran then at 8ohms. My amp
    runs cooler and i'm not turning up the gains or volume to compensate. I love it... it hits hard and feels different, Give it a try.
    The fact that i'm in bridge mode, may be the reason
    the power seems to still be strong.

    Great overview. Coming from an electronics background, it all comes down to impedance matching. The source (amp) must match the load (speakers) if you don't want to damage/overload/underload your system.

    If I were to build two speaker boxes containing two 18 inch 8 ohm speakers each and wired them both in series, they would both be playing at 16 ohms. If I were to then daisy chain them together at the speakon connectors, would they be playing at 8 ohm impedence or 16 ohm impedence?

    I have a boss riot 1100 watt amp the amp is rated 1 to 4 ohms and I have two 12" JL audio 12w1v2-4 hooked up for 2 ohms and I want to add one more subwoofer same kind what is the best way to hook it up without hurting the amp.. I know the subwoofers are 600 watts each so if I hook up 3 off them that would make 1800 watts so would I need a 2000 watt amp?

    I got 2 JL Audio 12w1v2-8 they're both 8 ohms each 300watts RMS old school Subwoofers. I bought them from a guy I used too know, they've been sitting in my closet collecting dust. This Winter I wanna have a custom ported box build for them, now I'm guessing after they both become 4 ohms wired in parallel, I would need an amp stable at 4 ohm.

When I use 4 speakers with this PAM and Power supply is 12 volt 2Amp. But when I use 2 speaker more than at the time of high volume it will make ups and downs the sound.

    • @m4scar4
      @m4scar4 6 років тому

      You're totally right! However Ohms are important to match because they are the the resistants who prevent high current (power) to the speakers, and prevent from blowing the speaker/s and overheating your amp with high voltage flowing. From my research thats my understanding and it makes sense. Lmk if you figured out, or learned another way, I would like to know!
