Hi, I have 2 Pioneer GM X-722 Amps ..And 2 Rock-Fos HX-2 subz.The subs are Dual voice coil ( 4 ohm each) and the Amps are bridgable as well. In all the specs for these Amps I cannot sea its wattage rating for 2 ohm bridged.  Since 4 ohm DVC in parrallel  will show 2 ohms to the AMP. Please let me know if I can run thse Amps on 2 ohm bridged (single channel). Will it be stable. If you know about the AMp .. how much RMS wattage will I get .CHEK THE AMP AT >> http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/product/detail/0,,2076_4055_34457,00.html

The link you provided states in the specs that the amp is 1-ohm stable, although I sincerely doubt it.  If you bridge a parallel-wired sub to the amp, it will indeed need to be a 1 ohm stable amp.  You can give it a try, and if the amp can't handle that low of a load it should shut off.  If it does work, don't worry about it sending too much power to the sub, because it still won't make 500 watts.  It'll smoke the amp before it kills the sub.   One class D mono amp is the solution to what you want for those subs, like the Hifonics BX 1000D.  And use those Pioneers for interior speakers.
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
