Hi beautiful people



So I have 2 100W, 4Ω speakers, and a 180W 2Ω Subwoofer and I want to connect them to a amplifier, but I am confused and not sure which amplifier to buy.

, since my Subwoofer is 2Ω and first amplifier Subwoofer supports until 3Ω I'm afraid amplifier would be fried, and if I choose second model it supports 2Ω Subwoofer but amplifier is so powerful I'm afraid it would fry my whole speakers.
These are the specs of two amplifier please help me choose the right one. Thank you in advance.



Amplifier Models

  • 160W/4Ω—-36VDC

XY-S350H

Maximum output power of left and right channels: 220W/3Ω--36VDC 175W/4Ω--36VDC 100W/8Ω--36VDC

What is the purpose of the entire project?

2 ohm subwoofer screams car audio to me.
You're not generally going to have access to anything close to 36V DC in a car, not even 24. On 13.8 V, you can hope for about 24 W into 4 ohms or 48 W into 2 ohms. That is low enough that I wouldn't be worried too much even about the 3 ohm rated amp.
Outside of a car, car audio subs pretty much don't work.

If a properly-working amplifier is trying to destroy your speakers, you would hear that. Overloaded speaker drivers tend to complain rather audibly. That is, as long as you're not stupid drunk or high out of your mind.... party damage is a thing.

Thank you so much, but this Subwoofer is for my mini Hi-Fi Sony system and since the main system unit is big I want to connect speakers to much smaller amplifier.
