New member Username: CjenningsPost Number: 1 Registered: May-05 | Ok, Im buying a amp that runs at 1500W RMS when running at 2Ohms, with this amp i am going to power two Kicker L5's running at duel 2Ohms wired in series. My question is this, when running two amps off a single channel, does the amp output get divided between both subs equally? in other words would each sub get 750Watts or does it work some other way. Amp - http://www.cardomain.com/item/BOSRIPD3 Subs- http://www.cardomain.com/item/KIC05S12L52 I just want to make sure that im not going to blow my subs if i run it at full power. Thanks |

That way you coul use series/parrallel wiring to run a safe 4 ohm load that would leave you at 1200 watts to the subs. The 2 ohm sub would drop that amp to 1500 rms which would over power the subs a lil bit. One other thing I dont know your budget but for the money they want for the boss amp you could shop around for something a lil better. Heres a link to a Hifonics amp which is a lil better in quality http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18797%26item%3D5772459806 %26 This way you'll get a better amp and pay less. |

Also the Peak on the two subs im going to buy is 1200(600RMS) so even if they are getting 750 each it wouldnt be that big of a deal right? |

Silver Member Username: GoonPost Number: 193 Registered: Feb-05 | what he is saying is don't get fooled by how many watts the amp "says" it puts out. it's over rated and bad quality. which means the amp won't have a long life span, it will dissapoint you in the end. if your budget is low, there are still other choices out there. |
