Can you use a four channel amp with subs?

Question

im getting an old kicker ZX460 and says its 180x2 at 2-ohms mono. its a four channel amp and also could you use it on a pair of kicker CVR 10s?

Answer 1

yeah sure just set it to the specs of the sub and ur good,,,

Answer 2

yes but you have to bridge the channels

Answer 3

for a 4ch, im pretty sure the amp is not 2ohms mono, if it is then thats rare

you could bridge it but if you want to utilize the amps lowpass crossover you would have to use the rear channels

unless you have a external crossover

Answer 4

it depends on the impedance (ohms) of the subs

Yes, but a mono amplifier makes a great choice for powering subwoofers. They're specifically designed for low-frequency reproduction, with built-in bass boost and low-pass filters. Class D mono amps are often a good choice — they draw less current, produce less heat, and are more efficient than conventional amp designs. You can use a 2-channel amp for powering two subs, or bridge the amp to single channel operation for a single woofer. Likewise, a 4-channel amp can be bridged to 2-channel mode to power a pair of subs.

Answer 5

Just as long as the amp doesn't have a higher ohm rating or your sub will blow

Answer 6

It's all about the bridging bro, says how to do it.

Answer 7

yes,just bridge it,and make sure your amps ohms is less than your subs or bye bye subs!
