Impedence/channel

[Banzai]

Saw this on the spec sheet of a 4/3/2 600watt amp...

• Stability with 2-Ohm speaker loads in order to effortlessly drive multiple speakers from each channel


Does this mean I can use Two channels to power my seps, at 4 Ohms, then bridge two channels then instead of powering one sub, I'll power 2 subs wired in parallel, at 2 Ohms?

I'm just getting into spending into car audio, so I'd like to get this right. Wouldn't the amp have a problem with doing that, I mean, two channels through 4 Ohms and the bridged channels through 2 Ohms?

I know well enough how 2 Ohm load stability assures no problems, but with this 4 channel amp with each channel into different loads....

Im not real sure what youre talking about.

If youre talking about running the front channels to your speakers and then bridging the 2 rear channels to 1 sub then yes you can.

You can even run the fronts to speakers and then run 2 subs off each rear channel provided they were 4 ohm subs in parallel.

If youre asking if you can run speakers off the front and rear channel AND bridge them to subs also then Id say no. Bridging a sub makes the amp put out everything its got. If you bridge 2 channels AND run 2 speakers parallel youre likely to fry something.

agreed - if each channel can handle 2 ohms normally, they can handle only four when bridged.
