I have a 8 ohm power amp can run 4 ohms says the manufacture my ? is can I run 4 speakers 2- 3 ways with 12 " woofers all 8 ohms if how do i do it? 2 of these and the 2 3ways with 12" woofers how should I wire them

Two 8 ohms speakers in parallel make a 4 ohms load. If you have 4 speakers you'll have to wire 1 set of 2 in series wicch will give you 16 ohms and set 2 in series also. Two 16 ohms wired in parallel will make an 8 ohms load

You want your speakers to be wired into 2 ohms, not 4 in order to get the full 500 watts out of this amp. Otherwise your limited to 300. Let me suggest these speakers, they are what I have and are very impressive with this amp: MTX Audio Terminator Series TNE212D 1,200-Watt Dual 12-Inch Sub Enclosure

Yes, Check your ohms on your speakers. This amp will push 380 watts at 8 Ohms. You want your amp to be a lot more powerful than your speakers. This gives you headroom and keeps it from clipping too soon. So, if you have a 100 watt speaker at 8 ohms, you are right the limit of needing a bigger amp. That is if you are using it to run two speaker. One on the left and one on the right. It will power more at 2 and 4 ohms. And it can be bridged.

It is not the size of the speakers as much as the efficiency of the speakers. In simple terms, speaker efficiency is measured in ohms, generally 4, 8 and 16 ohms. This amp will probably be able to drive 4 ohm 12" speakers but don"t expect to get too much volume with out distortion.

I would recommend wiring for 2ohm setup. @ 1ohm it might be pushing the speakers to the limit. Power acoustic amps are inexpensive because they have a lot of distortion so don't Max them out. I'm running 3 @ 2.6 ohms on a hifonics 1500w and they bang!

320W @ 8 Ohms and 480W @ 4 Ohms. I would suggest a 410 or 115 cabinet rated at 4 ohms from GK would be a great setup for your amp. Or you can run 2 - 8ohm cabinets (depending on there individual wattage needs) together at 4 ohms. We can help call us toll free at 1-877-671-2200

Yes you can. Specs say the amp is 2,4, or 8 ohms. Just don't mix on the A channel or B one 2 ohm and one 4 ohm speaker. If your going to install say the front speakers. Make sure they are the same ohms on the left and right. Same with the back speakers.

I don't own this but am considering this. The manual shows an audio out so you could go into an amp with that. The speakers are 3 ohms and have a jack on the side that would allow you to power a speaker, if you could get or make the same connector that they have. The issue will be the 3 ohm 7 watt rating. typically speakers are either 4 ohms in smaller units or 8 ohms in larger speakers. You will see less volume with speakers with a higher impedence with 8 ohm speakers being only about 1/2 as loud as the 3 ohm speakers that are supplied with the unit. There could be other problems with impedence mis-match but I haven't tried it to know.

Yes it will work fine. If anything going up in ohm ratings is easier and safer than going down. You are taking a 6 ohm rating and going up to 8 which uses less power to drive the speaker. If you were trying to go from 8 ohm rating on the receiver and drive a 4 ohm speaker I might say look out you could cause your amp to switch off from overheating or tripping a fuse. You will be fine and if anything you'll have a little bit more presence from your middle channel now and maybe adjust it down a tad in your setup if it's too much.

Well I have it pushing four 6.5 component speakers which is four tweeters and four mid range woofers and two 6x9s and it still seems like it has power to spare. I wired the back two doors with the 6x9s making the ohm rating 2. All of my speakers have 4 ohm ratings. That's the important part. This amp can be wired down to two ohms. Basically if you put two 4 ohm speakers on one channel it becomes 2 ohms. I would say you wont have a problem with this thing. I would say wire the 3.5 and tweeters with your front 2 doors and wire the rear doors with the 6x9s. That is basically my setup minus the 3.5

Jonathan, here is some information that might help320W @ 8 Ohms480W @ 4 Ohms700W or 480W Amp Only:¼" speaker outputjacks. Impedances Lower than 4 Ohms should not beused. Higher impedances such as 8 Ohms, 16 Ohms,or No Load are acceptable. One 4 Ohm, one 8 Ohm,or two 8 Ohm cabinets are okay. One 4 Ohm and one8 Ohm together is not recommended. The internalspeakers equal an 8 Ohm load. No damage willresult from operating the amplifier with the speakersdisconnected.

Yes this amp will do 4 ohms per channel. Now as far as power, don't listen to these people who are just guessing. 1) someone said it is impossible to get a total of 8k watts max from this amp because of the 120 volts. well they don't understand how power is made. 2) the amp is rated 225 rms at 8 ohms and 315 rms at 4ohms. 3) I don't know why they and others advertise max watts when in reality you never see the max ratings except on high end audio.

Won't work with a 8 ohm coil. I use it with a 12" single 4 ohm via bridge and the amps couldn't handle it. I think you should get a different amps or get 2 ohms speakers.

Using two 16 ohm would be the same as using four 8 ohm. You would be getting about 30 watts of power to the speakers. That is not much!

This amp is not putting out 2100 watts to your speakers. Your speakers are probably 8 ohms. If they are 8 ohms they are getting 230 watts to each channel. 1050 Watts x 2 Power Amplifier 230 + 230 Watts @ 8 Ohms - 460 + 460 Watts @ 4 Ohms - 920 + 920 Watts @ 2 OhmsYou will need a much more powerful amp. Good luck!

50watt rated speakers will work just fine with this amp. Max power into 8 ohms is 30wpc. You can get more power output by using 4 ohm speakers, but unless you're trying to fill a large room or you just like LOUD music 50watt speaker will work.

Hi! you can run 2x2ohms but make sure you dont bridge them because you will be running a 1ohm load and most 2 channel Amps are not stable at 1 ohm and will overheat. Connect sub 1 to channel 1 and sub 2 to channel 2 and you will be running a 2ohm load. hope this helps you out. Cheers
