Hooking up two amps to one sub

[ackslaxrichard 0]

I am getting the 15" Q w/bp power but my amp is a profile ap2000 and only puts out 960 rms bridged at 4 ohms. How can I hook up another amp so that I have about 1500 rms going to the sub and also some new 6x8's that I will be putting in?

You don't need 1000+ watts on a Q. You will be surprised with the output.

Another thing, please don't use a monoblock for anything other than subs and midbass, they aren't designed for it.

The amp is 2-channel not a monoblock

Nvm bridging it at 4ohms makes it mono

Doesn't matter, you are bridging it anyways.

960 watts is plenty for a Q. and get a separate amp to run the 6x8s.

I was building boxes while some of you were still up the pipe. I started audio in 1989.

[bassahaulic 155]

No one caught it. Neither did i till just now.

He said that one amp does 960 rms. He wants 1500 by adding another amp. They are 2 different amps. If they were the same, then the rms would go up from 960 to 1920. But since he is aiming for 1500 with the second on, it makes one have the output of 960, and the other put out 540.

Make Sense..?

[KU40 173]

Yeah, I figured he wanted to use two different model amps and the other was 500 watts or so. That's why I recommended just using the one Profile.
