amp selection acording to ohms

[rammstein 10+ year member]

I have one sub DVC @2ohms per x 1200watt I can get an amp that puts out

1200 @ 1ohm load and another that puts out the same but @4 ohms

both amps are 1ohm stable

So whats your question?

 

[rammstein 10+ year member]

is there an advantage or going with the one that puts out 1200 @ 4ohm

than the one that puts out same @1 ohm?

would the amp that puts it out @ 4ohm be more true power instead of the one that puts it out @1ohm in other words over inflated numbers vs true output

poast the amp manufacturer/models

the 4 ohm one should have better SQ

 

[shaneb 10+ year member]

it's 2 ohms per coil? if that is the case then get the 1ohm amp, but a 4ohm amp will allow you to add a sub in the future...

 

[Horsemanwill 10+ year member]

it's all dependable about how the amp was designed some amps like 4 ohms better then 1 but at the same time some amps are designed to run 1ohm so it wouldn't make a difference

PA amps

BAMF 2000/1D 1200 @ 1 Ohm

other is

BAMF 4000/1D 1200 @ 4 Ohm

and yeah yeah there power acoustik amps apparently not that great of an amp

I have the 2000/1D and I seriously doubt it will put out 1200W. Better to get one of the bigger ones and run it at 1ohm.

 

[rammstein 10+ year member]

they "say" that the BAMF 4000/1D @ 1ohm is 2200 but i only need 1200

the BAMF 4000/1D says 1200 @ 4ohms

Yeah, get the 4000 and run it at 1ohm.
