is it possible to strap (2) Zapco 6.0x bridged at 4ohms (900rms) to 1 RE 12 x.x.x dual 2ohm to produce a total of 1600-1800rms at 4ohm?
If so how? The 6.0x are not setup to run master/slave...
Any other amps that push 1600rms at 4ohm cleanly? I want to keep to class AB amps. |

Try Orion HCCA 275G4. It is 1200w rms minimum at 12v and close to 1500w rms @ 14.4v.
Do you have 2 Zapco C2K 6.0x amp? |

no.. but i am curious if its possible power each voice coil.. i will purchase once i figure this out. even using two REF 750.2 which have awesome numbers 750rms bridged.. Could each one power a voice coil at four ohm? Actually i would need a four ohm sub right? or two ohm? |

you can use two amps and hook one to each VC but you have to make sure each is set exactly as the other, everything has to be the same or you'll basically shread the VC's. |

Josh56, if you check most sub manufacturer's website, they will tell you to never power each VC separately using 2 different amps. All it takes is a little surge and you're screwed.
Even powering the VC using 2 channel amp is risky.
Your best bet is to find a powerful amp and use it. Orion HCCA 275G4 is more than adequate for your job. |

oh ok.. thanks just curious. the HCCA 275 is only 300rms at 4ohm? i am looking at 1600rms at about 4ohm. The US amps 2000x puts that much out 2000rms @ 4ohm but they are revamping there line so they're not available at the moment. |

If you can get your subs down to 1ohms, then 275G4 will give you almost 1500w rms.
