can you run 4 mmc650's in 2 ohm?

polkmomo2002

I want to run 4 mmc650 6.5 inchers from an audiobahnn A6004t amp...this amp delivers 75w x 4 at 4 ohms and 150w x 4 at 2 ohms. my question is, since these are 4 ohm speakers, is it absolutely unheard of to run these in the 2 ohm set-up...i've heard that audiobahn overrates their amplifiers and was wondering if it would be safe to take "150w x 4 at 2 ohms" to these mmc650's. thanks!

You can't get the speakers to run at 2 ohms off of a 4ch amp. the only way to put them to 2 ohms is to wire them in pairs which would ultimately call for a 2ch amp. my advice would be to bi-amp if you realy feel the extra power is needed, that would also give you a higher level of controll in your system.

Also in most cars 75w/ch to those speakers should give you plenty of volume and clarity (I've always been a little biased against audiobahn but that's more from the comparison of their price to quality than their quality in general so the amp should work fine). Underpowering won't hurt your speakers any you just have to be carefull that you're not setting it up in such a way that your amp is getting a clipped signal.
