power acoustik ts-1920-2 amplifier

i ordered a Power Acoustik TS-1920-2 which pushes 440 x 2 RMS @ 2ohms per channel. Will this amp be able to push into a 1.34 ohm load per channel without any issues ? The amp states that it is 2 ohm stable in stereo, but i was wondering if i would run into any problems if i ran it into said load.

Manufacturers put there lowest stable rating for a reason. To protect there amps. PA amps are very low quality. If it does work at the load it will not work for long.

alright thanks. well can you suggest a way to wire 3 MA audio 12"'s 4 Ohm dvc to get maximum output ?

If you want the best ouput possible. Run on that amp run just 2 of the subs in series/parallel. That will give you a 2ohm load and full power out of the amp to the 2. Or you could use series parralel to all 3 but that will be a 3ohm load. You will not see full power nor a difference in output to the ear.

That would be the way to go, if my amp was 2 ohm stable bridged. it is only 2 ohm stable, per channel in stereo mode. minimum impedance for bridged mode is 4 ohms. also, my subs are 300 rms/600max each. I Had 4 of them at one point, but some idiot put a bag on top of my box and blew a hole in the cone. would i see better results if i were to purchase a replacement, and run 4 12"s?

Did I do that?

Yeah i forgot you are using a stereo amp. Series/parallel although would give you a 2ohm load would only utilize on channel, Not so good. That would only give you half the power from your amp. With 2 subs you would want to wire each sub in series giving you a 4ohm load per channel or Bridged you would have to run series/series giving you a 8ohm bridge load, Same power. Getting a 4th sub would infact be best. You would be able to present a 4ohm bridge and extract full power from the amp.

thats what i figured...now one more question, i am considering building a new box for 4 MA audio MA121XQ specs as follows: Size: 12 Inches Power Handling Capabilities: 600 Watts Power Handling 300 Watts RMS Power Handling High Profile Triple Treated Surround Black Powder Coated Stamped Steel Basket Copper Wound Black Anodized Aluminum Voice Coils Dual Laminated Cotton Spider Rubber Sealant Gasket Vented Bumped Back Plate 60 Oz. Strontium Magnet Platinum Plated Block Terminals Sensitivity: 88.36dB Impedance: 4 Ohm Dual Voice Coil Mounting Depth: 5.5" Mounting Diameter: 11.75" Optimum Vented Box: 3.0 Cu/Ft Optimum Sealed Box: 1.0 - 1.5 Cu/Ft What would be the best size box for this set up, tuned to 36 hz? i have a sealed box for 4 12"s, which is 4 cubes.

What i found was -Ported 1.75cu.ft. 14sq.in. port area per sub. -Sealed is .5 - 1cu.ft. per sub The MA site is down right now. I would shoot them an email and see what they recommend.

His woofers are dual 4 0hm.
