Hello all I am about to get two 12" kicker cvr subs that are 4 ohm.(or should I get 2 ohm?) and I am thinking of getting the audiobahn a8002v amp (i'll post specs at the bottom). I am putting this in an ext cab silverado under the rear seats in a ported box. How do I wire this to get a 4 ohm load and be bridged to get the 800 watts like the specs say (what exactly does bridged mean?)? Will these two 4 ohm subs work fine with this amp? I am trying to do this system on a budget. Sorry if these are dumb questions but I'm new to car stereo. Thanks for the help amp specs- Product Description: Intake Series 2-Channel Amplifier Power Handling: 200 watts x 2 chan. @ 4 Ohms 400 watts x 2 chan. @ 2 Ohms 800 watts x 1 chan. @ 4 Ohms Bridged Cla** A/B MOSFET Circuitry PWM MOSFET Power Supply Double-Sided Gla** Epoxy Circuit Board 3-Way Protection Circuitry: Thermal, Short Circuit and Overload Cooling Fan Cobalt Blue Illumination Variable High/Low Pa** Crossover: 18 dB/oct Nickel-Plated Block Terminals Dimensions: 11-7/8"L x 11-1/16"W x 2-1/8"H 1-year Sonic Electronix warranty
According to the stats posted on the Intake amp, go with two, 2 ohm woofers. Wiring them up in series. this will yield a 4 ohm load in mono/bridged. which is waht you want on that amp, it will see half the impedance!
Yes...it would work...in a series/parallel wiring. But...Audiobahn amps suck...What are you trying to spend for an amp for these woofers?? http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=14934 Good buy....can wire up the amp at 1 ohm with your subs.
