Hifonics BX1605D
|
New member Username: Randomly128Post Number: 1 Registered: Sep-05 | I had just bought a Hifonics BX1605D. The box and everything said it was a mono amp. Well when I opened up the box I noticed it was set up sort of like a 2 channel amp. It has 2 negatives and 2 postitives. And well what I was woundering what the specs were. All the sites say 1600-1ohm at 1 channel 1100-4ohm at 1 channel 550- 4ohm at 1 channel So does that mean I can run 2 subs that have an rms of 1100 at 2 ohms, and expect to get 2200 watts? Thank you for any help!! |

New member Username: Randomly128Post Number: 4 Registered: Sep-05 | Ok. I have 2 Audiobahn Aw121t's. 4 ohm svc 550watts rms. But each is only getting around 225. Since I have each 1 going to a seperate (+) (-). Or is there a way to cheat. |

Silver Member Username: MixneffectOrangevale, Ca. USA Post Number: 349 Registered: Apr-05 | I am not familiar with this amp at all, but i will try to help. Yes, the sites say that it is a 1 channel amp. It offers the following power at the resistence that you mentioned above 1600-1ohm at 1 channel 1100-4ohm at 1 channel (correction 2 ohm, not 4 ohm) 550- 4ohm at 1 channel Now; I think they have installed two sets of outputs so that you may bi-wire or paralel two speakers to a factory binding post (terminals) This way you may take two 2 ohm speakers and wire them in paralel to get a 1 ohm load, which the amp will deliver 1600 watts. Or, Take two 4 ohm speakers and wire them in paralel to get a 2 ohm load, which the amp will deliver 1100 watts. Or, Take two 8 ohm speakers and wire them in paralel to get a 4 ohm load, which the amp will deliver 550 watts. Does any of this make sense? I hope this is true. I am not certain. It is just an educated guess. Hope this helps. |

New member Username: Randomly128Post Number: 7 Registered: Sep-05 | Thanks anything is better than nothing. When trying to get a 1 ohm load how would this work out since there are 2 terminals? |
|
New member Username: Randomly128Post Number: 8 Registered: Sep-05 | Yes It does!!!!! So for the two 4 ohms to get 2 ohms would I connect them both to the same +,-. Or should each 1 get its own +,-. (or would both examples have the same result) |

New member Username: Randomly128Post Number: 9 Registered: Sep-05 | Also when you said"This way you may take two 2 ohm speakers and wire them in paralel to get a 1 ohm load, which the amp will deliver 1600 watts" would those speakers be dvc. |

Silver Member Username: MixneffectOrangevale, Ca. USA Post Number: 350 Registered: Apr-05 | "would those speakers be dvc?" No. My instructions were based on single voice coil applications. If you have dual voice coil speakers; then treat each coil as a separate speaker. So; If you have one 4 ohm dual voice coil speaker, then you would wire each voice coil to a separate terminal. This would give you one speaker with a 2 ohm load. Or, If you have two 4 ohm dual voice coil speakers, then you would wire each speakers voice coils in paralel. This would make each speaker a 2 ohm load. Repeat the process to the other dual voice coil speaker. Now wire each speaker to the terminals. This would give you two dual voice coil speakers with a 1 ohm load. Or, If you have one 2 ohm dual voice coil speaker, then wire each voice coil to each terminal. This would give you a 1 ohm load. |

Since I have each 1 going to a seperate (+) (-). Or is there a way to cheat?" I should have read more carefully. So ya, if you have two 4 ohm svc 550 watts rms each, you will be perfectly fine. You would wire each of them direct to separate terminals. This would give you a 2 ohm load, which your amp will deliver 1100 watts. So there it is. A perfect match. |

Anonymous | Hey. Im wondering about this question? If you have one 4 ohm dual voice coil speaker, then you would wire each voice coil to a separate terminal. This would give you one speaker with a 2 ohm load. What's the deal with this? how many channels would you need then? |
|
Silver Member Username: MixneffectOrangevale, Ca. USA Post Number: 355 Registered: Apr-05 | Normally you would need two channels. But, This amp has two terminals for convenience only. It still remains a mono block(1 channel amp). This is because this amp is stable down to 1 ohm. It offers multi use applications. i.e. 4 ohm 2 ohm 1 ohm |

New member Username: Randomly128Post Number: 10 Registered: Sep-05 | Could I get 2 woofers that are svc 2 ohm and drop them down to one ohm. Or is the only way to drop down to 1 ohm is to have a dvc. |

Silver Member Username: JaackdethUnited States Post Number: 628 Registered: Sep-04 | 2 SVC drivers with Voice Coils in Parallel This is pretty simple, too. Wire both woofer (+) to the amplifier's (+) and do the same with the (-) connections.  |

Bronze Member Username: Randomly128Post Number: 11 Registered: Sep-05 | So that example could drop 2ohm svc to 1 ohm? |
