500rms x 1 at 4-ohms = ?

anoynomos Unregistered guest	Posted on Saturday, May 29, 2004 - 18:46 GMT If I have 2 4-ohm subs wired in a series to get 4 ohms and I have a amp that puts 500rms x 1 at 4-ohms does that mean I'm getting 250rms to each sub. Thanks for the help just a newbie

If you feed this 8 ohms with 500W * 4 ohms, you'll get something like 250 * 8 ohms for both subs that in fact will work as a single unit of 8 ohms
