I know that Rockford doesn recommend running a Punch 2 channel amplifier below 4 ohms bridged. How do I use the Punch DVC (dual voice coil) woofers on my amplifier?
The Punch DVC woofers are designed to extract maximum amplifier performance. As such, we are concerned with the actual impedance of the system rather than the resistance. When a speaker is given a 4 ohm or 8 ohm number, it is an approximation of the actual impedance. In most systems, the actual measured impedance will be higher than calculated. So, a system that has a theoretical impedance of 2 ohms may actually be closer to 4 ohms! We have constructed many enclosures and made actual impedance measurements of Punch DVC systems and found that they are usually around 4 ohms in most cases. The key is that we have taken the time to measure these systems and have found them to be safe. As long as the measured impedance is around 4 ohms, a Punch 2 channel amplifier will work just great!
