HERE is the amp....not sure if its good or crap lol...it was its good for running 2 subs and speakers in car...des tis mean at same time?

could i run a 12" sub of it and front component speakers?

KAMENi · 18th September 2006, 18:27

you could get decent power out of it.

Imfromwales · 18th September 2006, 18:30

would it be able to run the one sub and the components in front?

Scott^p · 18th September 2006, 18:32

yes it could, could it run them well? dont know until you tell us the power that the door speakers and sub require

Imfromwales · 18th September 2006, 18:34

dnt have a clue on either lol...what is it measured in?

Imfromwales · 18th September 2006, 18:54

KAMENi · 18th September 2006, 18:55

watts, RMS (not max)

Imfromwales · 18th September 2006, 18:57

THESE components

Imfromwales · 18th September 2006, 19:20

will it do both?

Imfromwales · 18th September 2006, 20:06

come on lool...

rep available

for the components it should be fine.

if im not mistaken, the sub is 500w rms

however, if you bridge the amp for the sub.. then you should in theory get 400rms, or close to it

so yer overall i think it will sound great.. you might want a second opinion though because im not the most knowledgable of people

Imfromwales · 18th September 2006, 20:25

ok then lol.....

whats bridging??

so what if its 500rms lol?

Goddy · 18th September 2006, 20:42

bridging basically is using a + terminal from one channel and a - terminal from another channel.

usually on the amp there will be a little line going to one + terminal and one - terminal and it will say "bridge" or summat like that so you know which ones to use. It basically gives you more power.

The sub is 500w rms, the amp will, with a bridged connection will give you around 400rms possibly a little less... so your sub will be putting out whatever the amp gives (in this case 400w rms)

to sum up lol.. you could get more out of your sub with a bigger amp, but 400w rms is huge anyway, i have 180 rms and it blows my fooking head off.

ok thanks for info mate !

Goddy · 18th September 2006, 21:59

np, glad i can finally help someone instead of always asking the questions

Imfromwales · 18th September 2006, 22:02

lol!

so final words, its a good buy for what i need it for?

KAMENi · 18th September 2006, 22:16

well, your amp is 4 x 80 @ 4 ohms stereo, 4 x 120 @ 2 ohms stereo, 2 x 80 @ 4 ohms stereo + 1 x 240 @ 4 ohms bridged

it will do the job pretty good, but i would recommend another sub
i heard that audiobahn aren't really quality products

Goddy · 18th September 2006, 22:34

i think that set up will be sweet, but kameni sounds like he knows his stuff!!!

that sub he suggests is nice, but more expensive. so depends if you want to spend more money

Imfromwales · 19th September 2006, 09:24

ok thanks....

can i run 2 different subs off the 1 amp? if the amp has enogh channels?
if so i will get that sub for xmas and run both lol :thumbup:
