Im seeing Rockford amps that say "350 watts @ 2ohms" or "200 @ 4ohms". Is there a benefit to running them at 2 ohms and if so how would I do that. Is there a setting on the amp? I dont see any switches on my htx2 i currently have. The other question, that Htx2 that i want to run my in boats on, can i run four in boats on that 2 channel amp? Im assuming i can just use one channel for each side, and daisy chain them together, if thats even the right terminology. I dont know much about stereo stuff, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks What amp is currently running your in boats and sub? HTX6?Jason Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

Thanks The ohm rating is just that.. a rating. You can only change the ohm load with a speaker so if you have a 4ohm speaker the amp will see a 4 ohm load (2 4 ohm speakers on the same channel you will see 2ohm). So to answer your question with a 4ohm rev10 you will only see 200 watts per speaker with a amp rated at 200 watts at 4 ohms. Jason Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

Also let me add my 2 cents... the amp is every bit as important as the speaker if not more important. Under driving a tower will kill performance and likely cause speaker failure prematurity. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

I plan to install the wetsounds head unit and I'd like to do the rev6 in boats too. I'm not trying to go crazy here but I fear that ship might be leaving port. How much for the sd2? |

I went with a 278 SSC (cuddy) from Monterey... build quality and vinyl is unmatched... also, I think they own a few shop vacs at Monterey, unlike Malibu/Axis... in fact, I saw them in use when I toured the Monterey factory this summer. zero wrenches, wires, build trash, or issues at delivery... what a relief for once. You can see the Icon 8's in these photos; will let them go cheap... will have swivel clamps. I turned them on to make certain the amp and fusion head units worked; they are already off the boat.
