Default pn4.1000d amp and dmm calculation

Hi Guys...Front Speaks Kappa 2 ohm...rear kicker 67s 4 ohm....amp shows 140w x 4 at 4 ohm and 250w x 4 at 2 ohm.....Are These Numbers Correct 140 x4 =560 sqrt 23.66 for rear kicker and 250 x 2=500 sqrt 22.36 for front Kappa...I Am Thinking Something Is Not Right And Need To Verify....Also When Setting Gains This Way, Do I Use + And - On One Channel Or + On Right Channel And - On Left Channel...Thank You ..Much Appreciated

There's a nice guide to use in the sticky on top of this forum, I believe the guide is on the second to last page and will give you all your numbers. Use + and - of one channel.

Look up Ohms law calculator. As long as you have 2 of 4 variables it will get you the info you need.

You may want to use the tested wattage of that amp in your formula.

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/audio...ch-6-amps.html

SS PN 4.1000D (250W @ 2 ohm; 150W @ 4 ohm)
2 ohm: ~237Watt
4 ohm: ~140Watt

The Kappa 62.11i max wattage is 225 and rms is 90 watts.

I would not set the amp to max specs as the Kappas will not take the power for to long.
To be on the safe side I would suggest no more than 20vac which is 200watts for the Kappas and no more than 24 vac which is 150 watts for the kickers.
