Basic Combinations Of Subs And Amps
Compatibility of amps and subs are very important otherwise the clash will either take both of the devices down or will unable to play either one of them. The subs and amps can be picked out at the same time to avoid any incompatibility between them but if you already have one of them at home then browse a little on Internet to find out which one of the other best suits it.
In the purchasing of an amplifier the most and the only thing important is to choose how much amount of power you need for your subwoofers. Once you have decided that you can get one that fits the compatibility factor as well as your requirement. A mono amplifier or a two-channel amplifier is the choices in this category though. The four common types of combinations for subwoofers are discussed further.
The bright side of each of these combinations will be kept in mind while choosing the right type of amp for it.
Single 4-ohm Voice coil sub:
As the single voice coil sub has less wiring therefore they are compact, simple and cheaper. They do not take too much room with a great result. This voice coil sub is perfectly compatible with a two-channel amp as they work fine with 4-ohms. Make sure you do not use a mono amp here as they are best well-suited with less than 4-ohms.
One 4-ohm dual voice coil sub:
Dual voice coils as mentioned earlier can be wired in multiple ways making it easier for you which also results in great performance and power handling. Most of the dual voice coil subs are compact too. Mono amps which are built for lower impedance usage and most power production are ideal for this type of voice coil sub.
Two 4-ohm single voice coil subs:
For producing accurate and tight bass you can get two subwoofers to thump harder. This may take up more room but it depends on your priorities – more bass or trunk space? Mono amps are perfect for this category as more power and performance is expected from them.
Two 4-ohm dual voice coil subs:
Again dual voice coil subs provide multiple wiring that brings us to flexibility and convenience. Two-channel amp is again the right choice for here resulting in powerful bass.
