Bronze Member Username: Sx3Post Number: 51 Registered: Mar-05 | I just instaled my 2 15" Atlas' using an Audiobahn A8002T to power it. It diden't really sound that good beacause it was only getting 200w RMS at 4ohms. I switched it to power just one sub at 800w RMS and it now has too much power plus I'm not even using the outher 15". I need a recomendation for a good amp to power both subs at around 500-600w RMS at 4ohms. Any suggestions? |

Bronze Member Username: Sx3Post Number: 54 Registered: Mar-05 | Why did it sound so bad when I had 200w RMS going to each? Was it just beacause the amp isent that good? |

Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 3388 Registered: Dec-04 | audiobahn, the interfire is severly underrated, its pushing my Ti right now |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sx3Post Number: 57 Registered: Mar-05 | Yeah, I think the Audiobahn A8002T I have is terrible. It uses so much power. |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 2858 Registered: Nov-04 | Shane, A8002T is a class AB amp. So yes it will use lot of current as you increase the volume. If your subs are 4ohms DVC, then you should get a lot more than 200w per channel. 4ohms DVC will be 8ohms or 2ohms. That is not a bad amp. If your alternator can supply the power, it will perform. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1917 Registered: Jun-04 | i agree i have messed with that amp and it does put out what i would call a true 600 rms not 800 |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sx3Post Number: 62 Registered: Mar-05 | How exactly do I wire it for a 2 ohm load? lol |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sx3Post Number: 63 Registered: Mar-05 | Is it possible to just hook both of the subs to the same bridged terminal or is that not a good idea? |

Gold Member Username: FishyTamarac Ft.Laud, FL USA Post Number: 1239 Registered: Sep-04 | You'd have to run them in series which isn't always such a good idea. You wouldn't get any more power than running them in stereo anyways. I'd think a pair of Atlas 15's would sound ok with 200 watts each. Maybe not. -Fishy |

luis gunny Unregistered guest | that amps specs are: 2x400w rms @ 2ohms 2x200w rms @ 4ohms 1x800w rms @ 4ohms and then it says that its not bridgeable at 2ohms??? so i don't think you can use that amp in a 2ohm load |
