Will these subs work with my amp.?

Question

2 CHANNEL BRIDGEABLE AMPLIFIER
TOTAL POWER OUTPUT 1280WATTS
640WATTS RMS @ 14.5V BRIDGED ON 2 ohms
280WATTS RMS @ 14.5V DRIVEN INTO 1 ohms STEREO(per channel)
160WATTS RMS @ 12.5V DRIVEN INTO 2 ohms STEREO(per channel)
1-ohm OPERATION WITH OUTPUT POWER INCREASE

i wanna use my amp with these two 12" clarion PA12-S subwoofers they are each 300 watts rms and are a single 4 ohm voice coil. on the side of the box they are installed in it has two sets of terminals( two positives & two negatives) so i think there are wired seperately.

Please leave an opinion or recomendation.

Answer 1

While the amp is rated for slightly more power than the subs are rated to handle, it should be okay if you don't abuse it. Wiring the subs in parallel will result in a 2-ohm load, which that amp can handle in bridged mode. To wire in parallel, just connect both speakers' (+) terminals to the bridged (+) output on the amp, then do the same with the (-) terminals.

As the answer above stated, you can try them out in 4-ohm stereo mode; that's more efficient and easier on the amp but may not provide all the output you want. To do this just wire each speaker's (+) and (-) terminals to a different channel on the amplifier. If you're not happy with the sound, it's very easy to switch afterwards.

Answer 2

you are able to easily connect both between the subs to that amp and characteristic it sound very strong. the merely difficulty is you would prefer to easily remember to have the audio device stressed wisely to the amp. Are the subs twin or unmarried voice coil? what's the impedance of the subs? which will ascertain even if you cord the subs in sequence or parrallel. answer those 2 questions first and then you'll cope with to hook those up for some 'boom on your zoom'

Answer 3

They should work just fine its maximun input power is 300 w rms and your amp supply 320w rms per channel so they are between its range. Don't recommend to bridge the subs since the power will be more than they can handle.

Answer 4

That amp should be just fine, the subs are always wired separately inside the box. I wouldn't start out with bridging the subs just hook them up the regular way and see how they do. Make sure your first time using them you don't turn it to loud it kills the life of the sub. Good luck.

Answer 5

Just wire the subs like so http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/PARALLEL.jpg and you'll be fine.
