AMP will put out 250 W per channel at 4 ohms.


Will daisy chaining them get the job done?

Yes,no,maybe. What's the job? You want to daisy-chain them on one side of the amp,feeding them 125 watts each? Why not run one on each channel? What is your amp's rating/channel at 8 ohms?

Ahhhh, no...I don't want to give them 125 W each, that of course would be pointless.

 

Bridge mode sounds OK to look at it but then I'd be going down to 4 ohms and that would most likely put the amp into protection.

 

Amplifier class A / B

Coninuous Average Power @ 8 Ohms BCD (Watts) 170 (x2)

Coninuous Average Power @ 4 Ohms BCD (Watts) 250 (x2)

Coninuous Average Power @ 2 Ohms BCD (Watts) NA

Continuous Average Power Bridged BCD (Watts) 525 @ 8 Ohms

Burst Average Power @ 8 Ohms BCD (Watts) 220 (x2)

Burst Average Power @ 4 Ohms BCD (Watts) 425 (x2)

Burst Average Power @ 2 Ohms BCD (Watts) NA

Burst Average Power Bridged BCD (Watts) 850 @ 8 Ohms

 

 

BTW, I do not use this amp at the present time. I was just wondering if I could and if I can't, I'd like to sell it. Sounds to me like it is useless for me.

1 spkr = 8 ohms / 200W

1 spkr = 8 ohms / 200W

_____________

2 spkr = 4 ohms / 400W parallel

 

1 spkr = 8 ohms / 200W

1 spkr = 8 ohms / 200W

_____________

2 spkr = 8 ohms / 400W series

 

Either way, nope.

 

You need to have an am that will do atleast 400W @ 4ohms, or 800W if you want another 3dB of headroom.
