Hi

I'm looking at buying a xs4600 to run my system.

It will be running 2 channels stereo @ 2ohms, and the other 2 bridged @ 2ohms

I've had a look at the specs, and see its described as 2ohms stable when bridged, but it doesn't give any indication as to what power it will make...

it makes 300w(+ phoenix magic) @ 4 ohms bridged. So similar, or a bit more?

Any ideas? or even better, any one know of one that's been tested?

Thanks for any help

it wont make much more power at 2ohms. it just can't dissipate enough heat so they limited it.

if you are going to run it that way, i really suggest a cooling fan, and make sure it has its own 4awg power cable

i made a setup like that some 12 years ago, even combined with a basscube in front of the rear channel......

the xs4600 could handle it fine...... front 2 ohm stereo, rear 2 ohm mono...... (and a 0.5F cap close to it)

If you still have to buy an amp(s), it would be better to buy two 2channel amps,

so u can use a separated powersupply for speakers and for the sub channel.........

If you already have the amp, look for a second amp.... the result at the end will be better............;
