Quick subwoofer/amp power question

[anglerz007]

Say you have an amp that says it outputs 300 watts at 2 ohm, and you wire 3 subwoofers to it in a 2 ohm load, does each subwoofer get 300 watts, or does each subwoofer get 100 watts?

Thanks

3 -4 ohm subs in paralell would be 1.3 ohms load a bit below the mark.
however they would equaly share the power.

[anglerz007]

So the amp will split the power output into 3 equal streams of power?

Yep. I'm assuming you're wiring three 8 ohm speakers together...

no...does it make a difference though?

[tenderland]

three 4 ohm subs in parallel = 1.3 ohms
three 8 ohm subs in parallel =2.7 ohms
provided the resistance of all 3 subs is the same they will split the power equaly

Are you not understanding me?? I was answering your previous post!! "So the amp will split the power output into 3 equal streams of power?"

I have no idea if you'll understand this, but I'll post it anyway: http://wickedcases.com/caraudio/amplifiers.html
