Help Identifying Connectors

My final prob is the amps designed for wither 2Ohm and 4Ohm speakers.
The Etons are 3Ohm so need to work out which setting to use on the amp. Bugger why is anything not simple. :confused:
 
It's not a massive power amp..

Its listed ratings...

  • OUTPUT POWER (RMS) @ 12.0 - 14.4 VDC, 1% THD:
  • • 5 Ch @ 4 Ohms: 20 W x 2 + 50 W x 2 + 150 W x 1
  • • 5 Ch @ 2 Ohms: 40 W x 2 + 90 W x 2 + 270 W x 1
So with a 3ohm speaker load you will get power levels between the 2 and 4 ohm load ratings.

Prob 30/70/200w


So its a 5ch amp....

But you want to bi-amp the front speakers so effectively using 2ch per side leaving the 5th ch for a sub.

So it will effectively be s 2+1 amp.

Yes, thats correct, but in the software I need to tell the amp if its got 2 or 4 Ohm speakers connected.
 
Ok. It about impedance matching.

Either 2/3/4ohm would work on a standard amp.

Try either once its all installed.

If the amp I cleaver enough to adjust its output impedance via software then the perceived effects would be.

3ohm on a 2ohm setting.. lower output level due to increased impedance.

3ohm on 4ohm setting... higher output level due to lower impedance , but chance of amp running hot.
