josh spivey Bronze Member Username: Spivey17323 Dunellen, New jersey United states Post Number: 90 Registered: Jun-07	Posted on Saturday, June 09, 2007 - 02:43 GMT i have an alpine type r subwoofer... will bridging the amp to 600 watts x 4ohms sound better or 400 watts x 2 ohms sound better. can the sub handle 600 watts at 4ohms? sorry if its a dumb question but im new to this

Brad Warren Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamic San Diego Post Number: 1727 Registered: Dec-06	Posted on Saturday, June 09, 2007 - 03:00 GMT The m450 will put out 200 to each coil at 4 ohms. That would work ok. Disregard the above diagram and run one channel to each voice coil.

Brad Warren Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamic San Diego Post Number: 1728 Registered: Dec-06	Posted on Saturday, June 09, 2007 - 03:12 GMT No. It would be the + of channel one and the - of channel two to one coil. Then the + of channel three and the - of channel 4 to the other coil.

From that question i dont think you understand ohms correct. The sub will take the power at ANY ohm, its just easier to supply more power at lower ohms, but if you can supply it at a higher ohm its always better because higher ohm = less thd although most of the cases its non audible
