Amps

[lewis]

Howdy, me again!

I've already got one of these amp and sub packages: http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/2649.html

and a set of these coaxial speakers: http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/1267.html

If I get another one of the sub and amp packages, will one of the amps be powerful enough to amp both subs? So I can then use the other amp with the coaxial speakers?

Or am I just better buying a better amp and keeping one sub?

Confusing I know :blush:

Thanks in advance!

Second option really.. Or just get the second sub/amp combo and an extra amp for the other speakers, it wouldnt cost you much extra.

if the amps is stated to be stable at 2ohms bridged run both subs off 1 amp , because you have lowerd the resistance the amp with give near on 2wice as much power for the 2 subs! , but it will also draw more current so make sure you have some nice chunky wire running to it and a good earthing point , check the earth point with a multi meter should get 12.4-13 with engine off on a healthy battery , i get 14v with engine on .

Keep that amp/sub package, and the one sub. Bridge the 2 channels of the sub amp into 1 to offer 1 x 380wrms into the subwoofer @ 4ohm load (rating of the subwoofer).

Now I suggest buying another amplifier, 2 channel should do, and running your speakers from this. The other option is to sell the 2 channel amp you have from that package, and buy a 4 channel amp. Bridge 2 channels to run the subwoofer and use the other 2 channels to drive the coaxial speakers.

The downside with running 2 or more amps is that you will need two distribution blocks to distribute the power/ground cables to each, and more signal/power/speaker cables to get everything hooked up!
