 Subject: Will it work
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 98 Dak CC with pioneer head unit and a pioneer GM 362 100watt amp, I plan on a stealth box with one eight inch. The problem is the speaker that comes in the box is a 3 ohm load dual voice coil two 6 ohm wired parallel. The amp directios say it must be a 4 to 8 ohm when its bridged. The amp is a 2 channel rated 100wats bridged. Could I keep the amp as a two channel and run one channel to one voice coil and the other channel to the second voice coil? This would give me 50 watts to each coil.

hey,
Wiring one voice coil to each channel will put a 6 ohm load on each channel. Your amp is stable down to 2 ohms per channel (4 ohms mono). A 6 ohm load on each channel of the amp will give you about 15-20 watts per channel.
In my opinion, you should try bridging the amp at 3 ohms. It is one ohm lower than what it is safe into, but most quality amps will take a little lower. If it blows the fuse when you do this, don't try putting a bigger fuse in or anything. Either try the 6 ohm per channel setup, or get a different amplifier.
I am guessing it is a JL Audio 8" sub.
