sub amp wiring ops. ohm and watt, how does ohms relate with watts? expert needed Options

[urbandork]

Assuming im using dvc subs that have an rms of 250w


what 4ohm load amp would i be looking at wattage wise???? would it be 250 watts RMS x 1 bridged output at 4 ohms. or would it be 500w?


what kind of mono and or 1ohm amp would i be looking at would i need it to be 250 at 1ohm or 500???

I get the sub and stuff but how does wiring of the subs in parallel and series as well as ohm at amp to ohms at subs affect the wattage being put out by the amp.

Last but not least which of these two wiring options should i go with????

you cant use the first amp, that will only be stable for 4ohm bridged.

the scond amp is stable down to 2ohm, and would not be able to be run at 1ohm (safely). imho i think you should go with 2 x 2ohm DVC subs, wire the sub voice coils in series, and then the subs in parallel to the amp, like mike said above.


Actually looking at the sub, these are 4ohm SINGLE VOICE COIL subs. so 2 wired in paralell would create a 2 ohm load at the amp. so perfect for the mono amp.
