4 ohms sub to mono block

Hey guys i want to know  i have a Boss D1200M and   i have a pioneer subwoofer tws256C 800 Watts subwoofer,  it is a 4ohms sub but the amp only put out 280 rms and the sub is 350 RMS but the amp only has 180 rms at 1. I want to know if i can change the ohm of the speaker so that i can get the full 1200 watts at 2ohms at 1 on the amp the full power of the amp.dre

You can change the woofer to a Dual Voice coil 2 Ohm.     Change = Go buy a new woofer.Let's Go Brandon Brown. Congratulations on your first Xfinity Series Win. LGBFJB

dred, uh...there is no full 1200 watts.  Sorry.Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Get a New Amp. That amp will never do 1200w

WHAT?  No, if you want the speaker to function do NOT remove the voice coil.  Sheesh.

Sometimes all I can say is WOW.

Brutality sets in... Get ready, 'cause here it comes... Somebody told me just recently, and here on this very board, in fact, that I was an ass... Well, while that IS a defining characteristic of mine, let's see if that truth is self-evident in this post. WTH?!?! I'm with i am an idiot... WOW! And I would add some sort of emoticon, but I can't even BEGIN to imagine how I could convey the amazement I find with the DEPTH of the idocy of that statement... And you REALLY work in car audio? You ain't even allowed to LOOK at my CAR, let alone touch the system within! Are you serious? Why remove the voice coil? If you parallel a four ohm voice coil (removed from the woofer) with a 4 ohm voice coil (still in the woofer), HALF OF THE POWER YOUR AMP MAKES WILL BE DISSIPATED IN THAT UNATTACHED VOICE COIL!!! It doesn't all go into the working woofer! So, if you have an amp rated 500 watts into 4 ohms, but only 900 watts (reasonable) into 2 ohms, then you will actually only be putting 450 watts into the working woofer! You are shorting yourself out of 50 watts, and while it won't likely be a noticeable drop in output, you ARE shorting yourself! Dude... You really need to brush up on your Ohm's Law. To the OP... Run 4-ohms. It's a Boss amp, it'll actually last more than 6 months if you do, and you might actually get some fidelity from it. (But I wouldn't hold my breath...)It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

And there are some other times that all I can say is WOW, for completely different reasons.  This too is one of those times.Let's Go Brandon Brown. Congratulations on your first Xfinity Series Win. LGBFJB
