Elite 12D Question for Morgan
Posted: Sat Oct 05, 2013 3:50 pm
I'm trying to decide if I want to go with a pair of dual 4 or dual 2 ohm Elite 12's to run off my Elite.1 In a ported enclosure. If you go by the rating of the amp it should be a perfect match at a 1 ohm load, but reality is the amp makes 4100+ watts at 1 ohm. On the other hand the amp makes 2800 watts at 14.4 Volts at two ohm, but with my electrical system I can feed it 15.0 Volts all day long, so it's probably closer to 3000 watts.
Given that the THD on the amp nearly quadruples going from 2 ohm to 1 ohm, seems like that would offset any SQ benefit from adding more power, and it won't add much if any SPL, is there any point in me considering a pair of dual 4's over dual 2's?
