i used to have a 480 watt amp powering my 10" sony xplod subs but i let my brother borrow it and he blew it up so then i bought a 800w sony explod amp, but when i hook the subs up to it i get no *** at all...i found out that its a 4 channel amp...id there any way i can get it to power the subs the way a 2 channel amp would

 

You must bridge your channels to make your four channel amp to a two channel amp. Basically you take on the first two chanels the positive on the first channel and the negative on the seond channel to make one channel. To do the second channel all you do is the same thing. You take the third channel positive and the fourth channel negative to make the second channel.Hook your subs up that way and now you have a two channel amp that was once a four channel amp.

 

thanks man :hail:

 

remember its a sony which is **** with amps and it might keep overheating if you dont follow the specs

 

ive never have had problems with overheating

 

Almost every Sony amp I've seen will release the magic smoke if you attempt to power a two ohm load or bridge the channels.

read the paperwork carefully before you reach the point of no return.

 

even if its getting pletty of cool air ?

 

the system i have no is just to hold me over until i have the money saved for a nice one...what brand amps+subs would you recomend

 

I remember when I went to Sony Training back when I sold that crap. It was the 2nd year for the xplod line. At the time, their mono bass amp was rated at "1 ohm stable". Even the Sony district rep couldn't say it with a straight face.

 

thanks guys...i havent had any problems with sony...i have sony everything including a sony home theater system and tv and i cant complain for the price

 

just read carefully try sounddomain.com find your amp and read comments of what not to do and such i also have a sony home theater but id never put a sony product in car

 

what brand equipment do you have in your car and how does it sound and how much does it go for cause im thinking of ideas for my new system i want this is just a temp.

 

well i was on a budget i wanted to spend under 250 total for my sub amp wireing and box

i went the day after christmas for all the sales bought

KAC-7201 kenwood amp after weeks of research for my budget this was the best built in fan and a good wattage and good reviews

with 1 sub bridged it pushes 460rms 800 peak

http://www.kenwoodusa.com/product/pr...productId=2477

got it at circuit city for 150 i believe

then for a sub i was leaning towards a p miller but it was alittle outta my budget and ive always liked infinity so i got

http://www.circuitcity.com/detail.js...&oid=71445&m=0

1200 peak 300 rms but know to take alittle abuse from amp so i could push alittle more which i dont

got that for 63 bucks

wirering 20 bucks

box 15 in supplys built it myself

but thats for a cheap system if i crank it all the way up u can feel your hair vibrate and all so its enough for me i dont need to be hear a block away just enough bass to match the loudness of a stereo nicely

but if u want somthing nice p.millers bazooka dual voice coil 12inch sub hit hard and nice and smooth
