it says it a class d amp but have 2 channels. How can i wire two of the speakers to 1 ohm on these
1440455
The amp has one channel with 4 terminals (2 positive and 2 negative). It's to make wiring a bit easier. (Example: I have two 12" dual voice coil subs at 4 ohm. I have two separate boxes. In each box I have the subs wired in such a way that the sub presents a 2 ohm resistance to the amp. Then, connecting each sub to its own terminal on the amp-versus wiring the boxes together and then to the sub-I present a 1 ohm load to the amp without all the mess)

That depends on the impedance and make up of your speakers. The amp has only one channel but also allows you to bridge your load to recieve max power..

I don't remember if this amp is rated to 2 ohms. If it's not you'll cook it not matter how many fans you put in there. To answer your power questions, 2 ohms puts out about double the power compared to 4 ohms if I'm not mistaking. Also you need to make sure the speaker can run at 2 ohms. In short if your stuff is rated at 2 ohms and the amp can go down that low then you'll be happy. If nothing is rated for 2 ohms you'll be unhappy real fast.

mine as 2 fuse, but either way this is a class D. it is very power efficient... no good on sub to use on 4 speakers great choice

I have not tried this but from the manual it describes utilizing both the A and B speaker sets. If this is similar to the stereo receivers of the 70s-80s, you would not want to use 4 ohm rated speakers as what normally happens is the speakers get paralleled and the resistance/impedance drops to 2 ohms and that the amp would never be able to handle without shutting down. If I remember, I will test this and comment further but everything I have read says this should work with 8 ohm rated speakers.

You want your speakers to be wired into 2 ohms, not 4 in order to get the full 500 watts out of this amp. Otherwise your limited to 300. Let me suggest these speakers, they are what I have and are very impressive with this amp: MTX Audio Terminator Series TNE212D 1,200-Watt Dual 12-Inch Sub Enclosure

This amp is a 4 ohm amp you can use a dual 4 ohm spearker but you have to configure it in 8 ohm's

I do apologize. I was wrong. I jus went and looked at the boxes they came in and they say 2ohms. Sorry for incorrect first answer.

All the info I read put them at 2ohm. I am running them at 2ohm from my amp.

I did some brief reading about how to match amps and speakers, and my understanding is that the amp's power rating should be less than that of the speakers--around half the peak rated wattage. But as well as power you have to make sure the impedance of the speakers matches the output impedance range of the amp. If you're running two 8 ohm speakers in parallel on each channel, that's actually 4 ohms, so check those numbers. We use this Grace BTAR122 in conjunction with two 80 watt Polk Atrium 4 speakers and it sounds fantastic.

the amp will not go to 2 ohms see if you can change the wiring to series... ithink that you should try it out with just 2 cabs.. you would be running 1000 watts to each cab... that's pretty good umph... just a thought... good luck

U need a 5 channel amp gor the sub or u can hook up 2 speakers to one channel using total of 2 channels for 4 speakers and use the other 2 chanels brigged for the sub

I'm reading through the manual in anticipation of mine arriving, and it looks like you can wire them separately. The complexity comes from the fact that there appear to be two separate drivers in the speaker enclosure, but you only have a single center channel out of the receiver. The simple way to go is to only drive one of the speakers, and ignore the second driver in the enclosure. If you want to be adventurous, you could think about wiring the two speakers in parallel. The drivers appear to be 8ohm, so two wired in parallel would show a 4ohm load to the receiver. If the receiver is rated to handle a 4 ohm load, then you should be good to go. If, on the other hand you were to wire them in series, you would get a 16 ohm load, which would be easier for the receiver to drive, but would probably be too quiet. Good Luck

Based on the information I could find, I don't believe they're using Class D amplification, but something called "switching mode power supplies". Found some good info in this forum thread: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/90-receivers-amps-processors/1470455-new-harman-kardon-avr-1510-1610-1710-receivers.html

If you wire them up correctly... make sure you dont go below the amps 1ohm capability and youll be fine. check this link:http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/4-DVC-2-ohm-mono-low-imp.jpg

I ran 1ohm with 2 of these cause they can be dropped to 2 ohms a piece when running in sequence then I sequenced both sub's together to get 1 ohm so if you have two then yes

Well this depends on what ohm rating the speakers are. They aren't just "1200W", they will be 1200W at either 2, 4, or, 8 ohms. Once you find this out, look at the amps specs and look at the ohm rating that matches the ohm value for you speakers, that is the amount of watts that the amp will produce at the ohm rating per channel. You may want to get a more powerful
