yeah, i know, not the best amp by far, but my cousin's truck go broken into, and his audison srx3 will be out of the picture for a little while. we have a powerbass asa 400.4 sitting around, and want to use it until we can get a new audison. now, for the big question... does anyone know if the powerbass in tri-mode capable/stable? we want to use channels 1 and 2 for the comps, and bridge 3 and 4 for a sub. a 15" dayton titanic mk III will replace the 12" type r that was in there, although a type r will be back again... probably.

audison srx3... now gone

diamond d6 comps in the doors, textile tweets, +3 to the tweets on the x-over

12" alpine type r, 3.2 cub box, tuned to 30hz... now gone too

if the powerbass won't work, we've go a couple years old hifonic zeus 600.2 that'll run just the comps until we can get an audison back in there.

any help is appreciated guys.

You can bridge the channels independently. 1+2 for the comps and then 3/4 bridged to 4 ohms (and only 4 ohms) will give you 200w.

Everything should be fine if you keep the ohm loads the same as what the amp can handle.

that's what i figured, but just wanted to check. since it doesn't state anywhere that i could find that the amp is tri-mode or multi-mode stable, i didn't want to risk frying any equipment, especially those d6's or the hu. powerbass's site seems to be down too, so i couldn't look up a owners manual pdf.

if anyone can link me a copy of the manual, or guarantee me that it's tri-mode stable, i'd be very happy.

That's technically not Tri-mode. Tri-mode is much more complicated and involves the use of a passive crossover network.

You're just running two channels bridged two channels not. If you have 4 RCA inputs, you'll be fine.

just wanted to say thanks guys. got the amp and sub in his truck today, and it all sounds pretty good. obviously nowhere near as good as the old setup did, but much better than stock, and infinitely better than no music at all.

thanks again!
