Why can't you use that? Specs are close to a K2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 It isn't Bridgeable and it's worth much more than a K2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to use a K2 on a pair of subs why do you need to bridge it? One channel per sub should work or do you already have one K2 and are looking for another?

MEH Synergy Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Np. Subs are 8 ohms. 500wpc isn't enough power for them, 2400 watts is. Hence the bridge. I don't own a K2 and would like to after thinking it over for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? 500 WPC X 2 = 1000 watts Bridged mono with subs wired together gives 4 ohm load and 2400 watts RMS. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Power output: 500 watts into 8 ohms, 800 watts into 4 ohms, 1,250 watts into 2 ohms (per channel, stereo mode); 1,600 watts into 8 ohms, 2,500 watts into 4 ohms (bridge-mono mode) They give 2, 4 and 8 Ohm specs. The amp can only put out what it can put out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Correct. Running in stereo, each sub is 8 ohms. Wiring subs together will yield 4 ohm load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Not difficult to rewire an NL4 connector and wire subs in series or parallel as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're presenting the amp with a different load but it still can't provide more current than it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 I am very confused. Here is the load, currently wired. So you are saying if I feed that nominal load into an amp that is rated at 2400 watts RMS into 4 ohms bridged mono, it will get 1000 watts?

CECAA850 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 For example, some of the Carver amps double their wattage when the load changes for example: 300 wpc at 8 ohms goes to 600 watts at 4 ohms then 1200 watts at 2 ohms and finally 2400 watts at one ohm. Less resistance allows more current to exit the amp but doesn't make it more powerful. It's like a garden hose at 200 psi will put out the same amount of water volume as a fire hose at 20 psi.

MEH Synergy Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 I understand what you are saying, and I agree, to a point. Where I disagree with you is that if I feed a four ohm load into an amplifier rated at 4 ohms bridged mono capability with a published power rating on paper, it WILL receive that power rating. I am presenting a 4 ohm load and the subs will get 2400 watts RMS. I don't think a disagreement can exist about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clark Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I have two of these that I use to drive Maggies. The dampening factor on them is crazy. Great for subs. You won’t be disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Awesome. That's why I'm looking for one or perhaps a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
