Anyway to drop ohms on a sub

New member Username: Sicknt760Apple valley, Ca Usa Post Number: 2 Registered: Jan-07 | the only reason i am asking is because the kicker 2500.1 pushes the full amount of the 2500rms when it is at 2ohm and at 4ohm it pushes like 1500rms. the subs i want are 1000rms a piece at 4ohm and i want to get the most of the amp!!!! |

"the subs i want are 1000rms a piece at 4ohm and i want to get the most of the amp!!!!" http://item.express.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ExpressItem%26item%3D220068156092& FROM_MERCHANDISING=1 RMS Power: 2500 Watts x 1 @ 2 Ohm RMS Power : 1250 Watts x 1 @ 4 Ohm You will only get 3dB louder by going with two subs rather than just one. You have to justify for yourself. Is the price of the second woofer plus a bigger box, more misc materials and space worth it? If you kept a one sub setup, you will have a decent matchup between the sub and amp, and still have plenty volume. Its up to you. |
