what about 4 drives bridged of a camco vortex 6, which is apparently stable to 1ohm. ive often wandered this but not given it a go through fear of killing something...

in parralle mono output (can someone explain this?) the peak output is rated at 8180W and 6600W at 1omh mono parralle

actully can someone just explain these ratings to me? we did try it once in mono parrallel and the output was HUGE


cheers

It can drive to one ohm in parallel mono.  Ie it parallels both channels so that each one is seeing 2 Ohms.  This is not the same as bridged mono where the channels are run in series.

ah rite... so if 4 subs where run of the bridged output in para-mono mode it would pressent 1ohm to both channels but these linked in para will pressent 2ohm at the output stage???

the equation for resitances in para is 1/RT= 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3.... by this rule the 2x 1omh reststances would equal 0.5omh surely? have i missed something here?

When you Bridge an amplifier, it will deliver more voltage so, you can use one or two 8-ohm speakers together.

Parallel Mono is good when you are using multiple speakers so the amplifier can send more current to drive four to eight 8-ohm speakers.

Bridge Mono = More voltage, half the current.

Parallel Mono = More current, half the voltage.

so i may be better of running 6 punishers of it in parallel mono rather then 3 a side?

unless anyone can give reasons why not to do it il give it a try next week...

You could try and see which configuration sounds better to you. Current demands comes into play more when the driver's impedance dip lower than it’s nominal rating. For example three 8 –ohm speakers are 2.666666-> ohms. Pending on the impedance of the cabinet (The Punisher) the source (The music material’s frequencies) and, how the speakers react under those conditions three punishers can be 16 ohms or 1.6 ohms.
