Ok to start off i know very little about amps.

My question today is, if i have 3 subs in my car, can i use a 4 channel amp ?

Thanks!

 

i wouldn't reccomend it, those amps usually aren't made for running subs. they usually only put out 75-150 watts per channel. personally i would get separate amps for each...

 

Boss "Chaos" 2000 Watt 4-Channel Amplifier





200 Watts x 4 @ 4 OHMS Stereo
500 Watts x 4 @ 2 OHMS Stereo
1000 Watts x 2 Bridged



======================================





12" Audiobahn Subs Subwoofers AW1251T


They have a RMS of 400 watts, and a Max of 800 watts. They are Dual voice coil, and a 4OHM.

Frequency Response: 24Hz - 1kHz
Efficiency: 92.1 dB
Dual 4 Ohm
2 Ohm or 8 Ohm Operation






Will this work ? if not what will i need ?

 

ok, it sounds like it may work, but realistically those subs can handle alot more power than the amp is going to give them. if they RMS at 400, and the amp maxes out around 500, they can take alot more. drop them all down to 2ohms and wire one to a channel. even then they'll be underpowered.

 

so i can use that one 4 channel amp ? then get a amp wire kit ? then im set ?
what amping wiring kit do i need ?

 

get a wiring kit that is good up to like 1,000watts. that way when you wanna upgrade in the future you won't have to worry about wiring your car up again. you need power wire from batt. (probobly like 4guage) and ground to match, rca's from the headunit for each channel you're running a sub off, and the remote wire to turn on the amp. oh yeah, and speakerwire for each sub from each channel.

 

can you list the brands and the names of the stuff that i would need ?
Links ?
Pictures would be cool.

thanks again!!!

 

and that 4 channel amp will work with the 3 subs right ? Thanks Again!!!

 

brands don't matter too much when it comes to power & ground, if you're having noise issues go w/a good set of rca's like monster cable or something. goodluck!

 

well can u list what i need,
just subs, amp and the wiring kit ?
