mps 2240 power

[robroy713]

ok....i bought this on ebay for 80 bucks......got some great advice from some of the phorum dudes here, and i replaced the caps.
and due to monetary constraints(the wife),i painted rather than coated the tins.hooked it to 2 kicker 10s and it hits nice.
question is does anyone know what realistic output is....i have the rated specs...but i have 2 4ohm dual vc run in parallel connected in stereo....14.5/14.8 continuous volts

[Mr. Wild]

It will do rated power and then some. In your case 2x64W+ RMS

If you want more power, connect all four voicecoils in parallel for a 1ohm load and then bridge that.
MPS amps are optimised for low ohm loads. You should get 288W RMS plus plenty of headroom, 500W+ dynamic power.

Just make sure you use at least 4ga power/ground cable.

sweet....it hits pretty good but protects itself.....and gets hot enough to fry eggs....(this being bridged)
but i will say i have a 1800 watt kac9152d kenwood.....and the little 2240 almost drops right with it

[Mr. Wild]

So did you wire it 1ohm bridged?

Does it go into thermal or overload mode? Yellow or red light?
If heat is the issue, that can be remedied with a fan or better installation place.

If the power wiring is not up to the task, that can cause overheating as well.

it goes into overload.....red light
