im looking to buy a rd3250 and run it with my at3000 to power 2 12" subs. will it sound bad if i do this as opposed to just running the one amp to power both subs?
i plan to set the gain to out = power. I plan to get another 3250 but i just dont have enough money right now for 2. |

even if they was in a seperate chamber box you would need a O-Scope and several other things to set the power output the same...
btw i have a RD3250v2 for sale for 389 shipped if you act before tomarrow night  |

True... If he HAD to have the amps putting out the EXACT same power.. It would be ideal, but not absolutely necessary... Especially if the subs are not in a common chamber box.... Very common to have 2 of the same amps that are not strappable... Without all the expensive equipment (as most are) you would do what you could.... Get them as close as possible (power wise).. Heck, I had 2 hifonics bxi2005's (not strappable) pushing my Alpha 18's in a common chambered box... Did the best with what I had... The only reason I said definite no if in a common chambered box was because the amps were not really close to being the same, and getting them as close as in my situation would be a lot harder.., and even then they would have different efficiency, power consumptions, and basic overall performances as the music is playing, impedence's are changing, and voltage is dropping and rising.....Even if you had gotten the power output exact with an O-Scope, ect... It would only really be the same for what Freq, ect that you were using to set them with.. You know wtf I'm saying lol |
