Basic mono amp / watt question

**bambam** · 02-05-2008, 10:56 PM

Ok, I have an amp that has the following specs:

# PWM Regulated MOSFET Power Supply
# Peak Music Power: 800 Watts
# Load Impedance Capability: 2~8 Ohm
# Continuous Power (4 ohm): 250W x 1
# Continuous Power (2 ohm): 360W x 1

I want to hook up 2, 4 ohm subs (250 Watts Nominal Power Handling) so that effectively makes it a 2 ohm system.

My question is this, with both subs connected to this amp and now 2 ohms, does that mean each sub is getting 360W or 180W?

I know this is basic but I got 3 different answers!

Thanks in advance

Thanks man. I thought that was right but, believe it or not, a tech support guy actually told me I was wrong and said it was 360 to each.

Thanks again....appreciate it
