Yep yep loads of choices...as there bass amplifiers it downt really matter which on you go for... there is no real divercity of quality like you find in full range amplifiers..

I think you have the KAC-X520, this is not stable bridged into 2ohms and you do need to look at something else . . .

Loads of option mate.

I think the 60.2 bridged into 2ohms would perform better then the Kenny does at the mo!!!

I think the 60.2 you have may be good for 300wrms into 2 ohms.

I can't find any "hard" numbers for the 60.2 (although I have one kicking around at home at the mo!!!)

Go home, re-wire and see how it sounds . . .

You NEEED to try the 60.2 you have into the subs in parallel and the kenny for the fronts.

I think it will be a nice solution for you, at least in the short term.

edit: due to reformat and to say this is all wrms

KENWOOD KAC-PS520

This is the current amp if anyone wants to do some research.

I nee 4 ohm output as thats what the subs are. I will conflab with matey trying to flog me the two 200.1s and put the RMS rating to him.... It does seem a little odd though. :(

Call me stupid, but I can't see how running one amp at 200watts into 2 subs will produce more volume & better quality than running 2 amps at 100 watts a piece. Running amps into low loads increases the current demands, which increases distortion, thus reducing quality. Also, I very much doubt that halving the load will double the power - the output impedance of the amp & the current demands on the power cable will probably see to that! The quoted specs for the 60.2 bear this out.

Also, the impedance of the cable will be higher in relation to the subs - this will reduce the damping factor of the amplifier (i.e. its ability to control the sub), so will reduce the 'punch' from the sub.

The only time it is worth mono-ing two subs is when driven by a bridgeable amp - this will often give a near quadrupling of available power, i.e. 2x100 watts 4 ohms, or 1x800watts into 2 ohms bridged. Current limitation would probably mean this is limited to 6=>700 watts in practice... Of course, distortion will be considerably higher than in 'Stereo' mode, and current/power reserves for peaks will be non-existant...

Jason wire your 2 subs together. + from amp to both + on the subs. same for -. This will put a 2 ohms load on the amp. So now get a amp that puts out 500+wrms at 2 ohms.

agreed.

" Current limitation would probably mean this is limited to 6=>700 watts in practice..."

no reason to argue here.

" Of course, distortion will be considerably higher than in 'Stereo' mode"

Why?

"and current/power reserves for peaks will be non-existant..."

Why?

Don't agree with these last 2 points. I think it would be true for lower quality amps but not so for higher quaility amps that are designed for 2ohm loads and don`t just "cope" with them.

try this with the 60.2 I reckon it will sound much better then the kenny is doing . . .
