for sure 8 ohm is more accurate...everything got it's limit...with 2 ohm, the amp actually output higher power than 8 ohm. that's y it's not so accurate....and the sub tend to accept more power...
exceeding power the sub cant handle = distortion

thanks for correcting me sifoos... hehehe...

does this 8ohm and 2ohm works for components as well??
I saw there are tweeters that is 8ohm, is this the same things as you sifus are saying??
Thanks!!

normal speakers which is more than 4ohm is normally for home use
but if u got a high power amplifier
using it in car is possible

2ohm is normally found on sub woofer which is DVC

actually mid bass and tweeter are built at 4ohm and 8ohm in home theatre also...it's the matching of connection type...

for a car tweeter, i actually say 8ohm b4...ya, it's a branded tweeter specially for car..the reason it make it 8 ohm should be also matching the connection also..just wat i thinking...

erm, if ur tweet are 8 ohm, u can actually maximise ur amp for the power of the tweeter...connect it parellel with ur mid...then it will become 4ohm..but unfortunately it will not have any active setupp anymore...

guys....with the stup in muh sig.....wat monoblock would u recommend for a budget of say 1k?

my jbl monoblock died on me...send to shop to repair and they say cannot fix
toolan..

EDIT: wanna ask how good are blaupunkt amps?? can recommend any blaupunkt monoblocks? i ask coz i might be able to get cheap

orion xtr900.2 ?

2ch class ab

guys...need more recommendations for a monoblock....

probably gonna go looking for it tomorrow...

would like to knoe brand+model with price and also where to get in PJ.

thanks in advance

monoblock or not are depend on how many sub u gonna use and wat sub u wan to use with..there's no point if u wan to use a svc 4ohm sub with a monoblock that can produce juice at 250rms @ 4ohm....it's just a waste....the great thing about mono to me is the capacity of going to 1 ohm...if a mono cant go to 1ohm, i will definitely wont get it...i want to maximise the usage of the amp...

for ur case, how many sub and wat sub u gonna use with the mono? if u just using 4ohm wiring, then i suggest u get a 2ch indeed...mono are overkill..wasted the money and the mono....

good point....my ICE setup is in my sig...1x12" Alphasonik woofer

i think my woofer is wired for 4ohm....not really sure

so....say my woofer is wired for 4ohm...what amp u recommend for 1k?

and say my woofer is wired for mono....wat amp u recommend?

is it dvc 2/4ohm?

thats the thing... i have NO idea

when i bought the woofer i was told its a DVC sub. and he said hes gonna wire it for 4ohm...i think la..

cant remember la.... which is why i asked to recommend amps for diff configs... n of course an amp that suits diff configs....

wire to 4 ohm mean it's a dvc 2 la...just use a lower power mono like jbl600.1 is enuff.and wired the sub to 1 ohm..no need too expensive 1 if u dun plan to upgrade to 2 sub..actually if ur sub is 400rms, u can only maximise it around3++ only..u will never reach 400..it will distort..and if ur enclosure design are proper, ur sub will perform best at 3++ rms..notreally 400..400 is the best it can take....

another bp600.1? hhhmmmm....that COULD be an option....

aiyah...looks like i may have an extra week to look.....i have to work tomorrow

thanks howiechoo for the tips.... but any other amps to recommend?

i got 2ch prokick class ab for sell....400rms total power....good ler...hehe
tested already even kicker cvr400rms cant tahan......lolz..the only underrate generation of prokick....newer product all overrate already...

actually the jbl600.1 are refurbish in our country..u will never get a new 1...btw, i m just giving an example of the mono amp...this 600.1 got a high risk cos 4/5 out of 10 are return for warranty after 1/2 month regarding to my fren who sell this..hahaha

cheh....looks like im 1 of thouse 4/5 out of 10... sigh...

really gonna need to bounce around town to look for a good amp

anyone knows of any good blaupunkt class d monoblocks? wanna try n check those out too.....

are blaupunkt monoblocks good??
