600 watts x 2 channels max
200 watts RMS x 2 @ 4 ohms
250 watts RMS x 2 @ 2 ohms
500 watts RMS x 1 @ 4 ohm
low-pass crossover (50-300 Hz, 12 dB/octave)
variable bass boost (0-10 dB at 40 Hz)
Tri-way capable
15-3/4"W x 2-3/16"H x 10-7/8"D
stereo 2 channel or bridged mono output
4-ohm stable when bridged
Tri-way capable
MOSfET power supply
preamp and speaker level inputs
preamp outputs
gold-plated connectors

will that be 500x1 @ 2 ohms?

I need to power a single dual 4 ohm sub with 500 watts for a friend.. i know this is a 2 channel amp but its wicked cheap and they don't want to spend alot of money. I'm just trying to figure out how to get that sub 500 watts for under $150

well ur not supposed to run a 2 ch amp at 2 ohms bridged, they arent usually stable down to 2 ohms in bridged mode, since its a cheap amp i seriously doubt it is stable to lower than 4 ohms. but in theory it should do more than 500rms @ 2ohms.

be careful though, my freind had a SX 15 dual 2 ohm wired to 1 ohm to a RF 501bd that was a mono class d amp only stable to 2 ohms. it melted the VC to the magnet almost instantly.
now i did run a punch 150s at 2 ohms bridged with a JL w3d4 when the amp was only stable to 4 ohms bridged. the safest way is to just get the amp with the correct wattage at the correct ohm load.
hope i could help u like u helped me eric.

yeah that makes sense. I have never really bridged an amp before so i dunno how stable they are. yeah i just realized it said its only 4 ohm stable when bridged. Thanks though!
