my new & improved setup hopefully |
|
|
New setup.......... i scraped the 4 channel amp and i bought an 800 rms
2 ohm 2 channel and a 200 watt rms 2 ohm 2 channel , these will be
hooked up to 2 6x9 200 watt rms each speakers and 2 4" 100 watt rms
each speakers,also all these speakers are 4 ohm, therese also going to
be an audiobahn eternal subwoofer in the trunk with an 800 watt rms amp
feeding it, and a 3 farad cap to power all three amps, the sound will
be produced with an alpine cd/mp3 player,and driven through 0 guage
audiopipe wires, will this sound good, by the way everything but the
headunit is audiobahn

So your putting a 4" and a 6x9 in parallel on each side of 1 amp? |

no....... 2 4" speakers wired to the 200 watt rms amp and 2 6x9 wired
to the 800 watt amp |

But you can't run 4-ohm speakers at 2-ohms, not even if you use a pai
of 2-channel amps. Whatever you buy needs to put out the amount o
power you need at 4-ohms, not 2-ohms

Just because the amps are 2 ohm stable, doesn't mean you're driving 2 ohm
loads. Your speakers are 4 ohms and therefore, you're driving 4 ohm loads.
If the amp is rated at 400 watts RMS at 2 ohms, at 4 ohms, chances are
you're going to get something around 200 watts.
It sounds like you don't understand the basics of speakers and amps. Not
that you need to know a whole lot but what you're aiming for isn't what
you're going to get. You might not care or notice.

the way i understood it was that if you have a 2 ohm minimum amp and
you have 2 4 ohm speakers that the total ohm rating will drop down to 2
ohms.
I guess im wrong :( |

Anyways if i am wrong it will not matter that much becuase i will still
be powering everything fully except for the front speakers which would
only be running at 50 watts each if thats true |

If you wire a pair of 4-ohm speakers to the same channel in paralle
(plus to plus, minus to minus), then the impedance will drop t
2-ohms... as was suggested by someone in your other thread... but tha
option has its drawbacks, as I mentioned.
You either need to look for an amp based on 4-ohm ratings, or you nee
to get 2-ohms speakers. Those are really the only good options

No, you're right. if you have two speakers wired in PARALLEL, the amp will
see a 2 ohm load. From your post you said you'd have 2 speakers wired to
each amp, not to each channel. |

Thanks to all of you, as you can see this was only my second system,
and the first one was pretty shitty, i was trying to do this one right
and produce a great sounding system. Hopefully i am not far away from
it therese just some tweaking that i have to do. |

What are you expecting out of the 6x9's?
