Don't take this the wrong way, but if you don't understand how to connect four 10 inch woofers to a single amplifier, perhaps you should be having somebody that DOES understand...

Seriously, a simple sub installation is one of the FIRST things you should be able to do, showing an understanding of Ohm's Law.

That amplifier CLAIMS to be bridgeable into 1 ohm, so a simple parallel connection of all four woofers will be "safe" (as I said - as CLAIMED by the Audiobomb website) and will in THEORY make 2400 watts - 600 watts for each woofer - over twice what they are rated.

Here are your options...

I wouldn't believe it though... Neither the Blue Thunders OR Audioburn are terribly respectable pieces of equipment.

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."

i just wanna say one thing on this.... that audiobahn amp IS 1-ohm stable... now whether or not it delivers on it's power rating in another story...

but i have worked with those amps and they aren't all bad... neither is any of the mtx stuff.. it's a reputable name.. u don't become one of the largest car audio companys in history by making bs product

if there is any good advice i can offer u is this..... there is a lotta hype in this industry.. but u know what... it's not what u got.. it's how it is being used that will determine the final outcome... people often make such a big deal outta high end stuff and flea market stuff.. listen... BUY WHAT YOUR MONEY CAN AFFORD!!! take it to a shop where the guys know what they are doin and pay them what they ask to get u rite.....

thats the best advice i could give anyone who like car audio as a hobby.... do your thang.. pay the haters no mind... just make sure U ARE HAPPY WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE...

i do agree with haemphyst about if u aren't sure of what u are doin.. consult some professionals........

no i was just woundering if i should go 2 per channel of all 4 to 1 i know i should of said that at the beging so i didnt sound like a pet monkey and by the way, i think i got what i paid for and then some b/c i got the amp and all four 10s for 350 would of been 5 10s but one had a hole in it

sound like a killer deal

Guy this isnt my first system, most of the ppl i know come to me to put they'er stuff in for them lol
