Q
Can this be run at 2 ohms bridged and if so what is the RMS?
[ Cody Jul 26, 2021 ]

This amp is not 2 ohm stable when bridged to 1 channel. We offer other amps and a few are 2 ohm stable when bridged and mono amps that can run a 2 ohm load. I recommend contacting an advisor by calling 1-800-324-9695 to discuss your gear and get a personal recommendation on a matched system

Q
I have a vintage Mercedes and I just purchased two pairs of Infinity Reference speakers. I would like to get a bit more punch than the 2x25 that the stock stereo outputs. The stereo has 2-channel low level line out. All the wiring is factory and currently there is an external fader that sends the 2-channels to the 4 speakers. Can I put this between the fader and the stereo? I have 4 speakers but only a 2-channel stereo, will this setup work?

You will want to contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat to discuss compatibility with your factory system. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and see if this will integrate. If it does not, then they will also be able to discuss other options with you.
