This question is for my Polaris RZR stereo.
I have just blown my 2nd Subwoofer amp, was not installed by me..
My RZR has 4 separate speaker boxes 1) Overhead 2) 10 inch Sub 3) Two 8 inch Subs
The Overhead has a head unit and a 4 channel amp powering the overhead speakers, A line out that goes to a Monoblock amp that powers the 3 subwoofers.
I figured out yesterday why i have blown 2 Subwoofer amps. The 10 inch sub is wired at 2 ohms, and both 8s are wired at 2 ohms so that would equal to a .67ohm load correct? (All 3 subs are dual voice coil 4ohm)
Again this is a monoblock amp. 1 out supplies the 3 subs.
The way the sub boxes are located and separate, wiring them in series or parallel would be a nightmare..if not impossible
Question 1) If i leave the 10 wired at 2 ohm, and switch the 8s to run 8ohm.. will the amp be unstable? What are the pros and cons? WIll the 10 be under driven?
In a perfect world i should probably have three single voice coil 4 ohm subs instead of three dual voice coil subs..but that is not what the installer did..and i want to use what i got for now.
Question 2) Would it be wiser to just unhook the 8s and run the 10 at 2 ohm until i decide to change subs/and or amp?
,*I am getting the same amp for free from the installer, since this one is blown he is going to exhange it..so i will have a monoblock for awhile.
This is the stats of the amp.
Number of Channels: 1
Frequency Response: 20Hz - 20KHz
2 Ohm RMS Power (14.4V) Per Channel: 1 x 600W
4 Ohm RMS Power (14.4V) Per Channel: 1 x 400W
4 Ohm RMS Power Bridge (14.4V) Channel: N/A
Input Sensitivity: 0.2-5V
Low Pass Filter: 40Hz - 3KHz
Question 3) If at a later date i want to throw more money at it- a 2 channel amp with all 3 speakers at 4 ohm better? Or can i keep the same amp and run all 3 subs at 4 ohm off of a monoblock?
