Call me silly but surly for 4 subs you will need 4 mono block amps?

Or two 2 channel amps

Tontsy · 24th April 2009, 16:02

not a clue lol... i had the GT7001 powering two of them, so i assumed the 1400 being twice the power would power 4 ok?

lol

im sure ive seen somone use the other JBLs, to power two subs,so as im using 4 i assumed i would need two lol.
im lost haha

alright mate thos amps wont power 4 gt5s

whats your budget for amp?

thought you had one of scuff monos?

to power 4x gt5,s of one amp you need an amp that can handle a 1ohm load

the 2 amps you posted up only go to 2ohm so you can only run 2 gt5s off them. the 2nd amp you posted are the ones i have you can get them for £80-100 2nd hand or thay where going on ebay for £125 new

scruff mono was sold few weeks back

after thinking about it, ive decided i want two amps, rather than one. as ive had them fuck up on me before, if one goes, ill still have one to bass with

so if i get 2 of the 1201.1 amps, i can power the 4 gt5s ? 2 subs to 1 amp...
Cheers Liam.

thats sucks jbl amps are very hard amps to brake so you shouldnt have a problem only problem you will have is getting hold of 2 1201.1 amps as there getting pretty rare il keep an eye out for you if i see any ging best bet is to keep cheaking ebay. yh 2 subs to 1 amp like ive done with my install

with the 14001e you could do it like above to give the amp a 4 ohm load and give each sub 300watts... but its not ideal. just pointing out its possible if you was watching one of ebay or something.
