8OHM DVC Bazooka and a Amp
Hello,
I got a Bazooka RS108DV. 8ohm coils. I was looking for an AMP and trying to figure out how to wire this thing. From digging around on the net, I come to the conclusion that if I wire the speaker in parallel, then an amp will see it as 4ohm? If an amp sees it as 4ohm, then I can just get an amp that is stable at 4ohms, and then I can either get a one channel or maybe a 2 channel and then bridge those channels? If I bridge, will it still be at 4ohms or would bridging change things? I want to keep it simple. Thanks for your inputs. Greg |

From digging around on the net, I come to the conclusion that if I wire the speaker in parallel, then an amp will see it as 4ohm? The VCs wired in parallel will result in a 4ohm load. If an amp sees it as 4ohm, then I can just get an amp that is stable at 4ohms, and then I can either get a one channel or maybe a 2 channel and then bridge those channels? If you only need 1 channel, why would you buy 2? If I bridge, will it still be at 4ohms or would bridging change things? The amp will have specs that let you know what impedance it can handle when bridged. Typically, if an amp can only handle 4ohm in stereo (2 channel) then it will only handle 8ohm in mono (1 channel). Most 2 channel amps on the market can handle 2ohm stereo and 4 ohm mono. I want to keep it simple. Are you planning on future upgrades to the system? Amplifying more speakers (like the fronts)? If not, just get a mono amp. Thanks for your inputs. Greg -- Regards, Dan Snooks |

If you only need 1 channel, why would you buy 2? Because most mono amps won't make full power into a 4 ohm load. If I bridge, will it still be at 4ohms or would bridging change things? As long as your amp is 2 ohm stable in stereo it will be fine. Paul Vina |
