Pyle 2 Channel 4000 Watt High Power MOSFET Amplifier Car Audio Amplifier Questions & Answers
How can I connect it to get the most power out of it?
What load is the amplifier designed to drive? It will only deliver maximum power into the optimum load. The loudspeakers are probably 4 Ohms, but the amplifier may well be able to drive 2 Ohms per channel. This means that you need to fit two more loudspeakers This is probably not possible. Alternatively, if the amplifier can be bridged AND can safely drive 2 Ohms bridged or 1 Ohm per channel, you should connect the two loudspeakers together (+ to + and - to -) and connect them to the amplifier output terminals indicated for bridge (often Left + and Right + but sometimes Left + and Right -). If the amplifier can't drive 2 Ohms bridged, do not connect the loudspeakers together, buy another amplifier and connect one loudspeaker to each, with both amps in bridge mode.
Remember that loudspeaker and amplifier power ratings are always massively inflated in the manufacturers' data, often by a factor of 4 and sometimes by 10 or more. You speakers may not be able to cope with a whole amplifier each, so proceed with caution.
Why would i spend a 100 to 120 dollars on a car amp?
any amp will work with any speaker, you just need to make sure it is a mono amp if you are running 1 speaker and a stereo amp wither 2 or 4 channel if you are running 2 or 4 speakers, the ohm rating on the amp should match the speakers also, on the back of the speaker it has the ohm rating, most will be 8 ohm, but you still find some 4 ohm, depending on the speaker if it has a lot of throw (the in and out movement) you may want a higher wattage amp so you get clean sound, it is up to you.... if you are installing lower price amps to you may hear engine wine or noise while car is running so a grounde loop isolator installed on the system will remedy that... also with the amp the directions will tell you the ohm rating of the wire to use, follow that.... and keep the ground short and clean where ever you put it.. try not to go directly off the battery cause you will get a lot of noise... hope this helps..
SHOULD I GO AHEAD AND BUY A 400 WATT AMP?
All amps aren't created equal. More exspense amps put out "cleaner" power. You need to know what the RMS power rating is for the amp at 8 ohms and 4 ohms. Also, is the speaker an 8 or 4 ohm speaker? How you wire a speaker or speakers (series or paralell) can change the ohms (resistence) which will change the power put out of the amp. Also, I'm assuming you are setting it up in mono?
