In Reply to: VK60 amp Connections. Is this good or bad? posted by Tyler Newton on November 9, 2002 at 02:05:39:
Tyler,I'm surprised you haven't popped a fuse, yet. Your overall impedance load is 2.67 ohms---if both the 8 ohm and 4 ohm are attached to your amp's OPT, in parallel.
The impedance profile (especially of that subwoofer) versus frequency most likely may bring the actual impedance close to 0 ohms, at certain frequencies. This is dangerous for the amp!
You are probably better off with a separate amp to drive the subwoofer. As you can tell this speaker requires lots of juice to perform. So, a hefty solid state amp (like 200+ watts) may be in order.
