Can I hook up four subwoofers to an amp?

Question

I have a box that has four subs, two 12" sony xplod, and two 10" sony xplod, and i'm wondering if I can hook them up to my 1200 watt sony xplod amp or will I need another amp?

Answer 1

What are the ohms of the 4 speakers? More than likely,you will need a new amp due to the ohms..Let us know by editing the question and entering the ohms of the speakers.

Answer 2

Don't hook up different wattage subwoofers if they are. If they're the same, and each is single 4 ohm, then you'll be running under 1 ohm I believe. 3 subs to 1 output is 1.3 ohms, and I think that 4 subs is around .5 or .8 ohms around. No amp will be able to handle that purely unless it ran you over a grand. Get 2 amps and hook each two subs to each, the 10's on one and the 12's on the other. That will be 2 ohms each, and all amps or most can handle that without a problem. You'll be satisfied spending the extra 150 on the second amp, and I hope the sonys do the job, they didn't for me.

Answer 3

yes you need another amp
