CJ Premier 12 Mono's w/ Nautilus 802's

Steve,

Yes, it would seem you have a dilema. C-J rates their amps into 4 ohms. The premier 12 is rated at 140 watts into 4 ohms and about 110 watts into 8 ohms. You could buy another amp to biwire, but It would be tricky to match the input impedance to the speakers. A better solution in my book is to upgrade to the Premier 8A amp which will put out around 200 wpc into 8 ohms. I have seen Premier 8A's going betweeen $5500.00 to $6000.00. You should be able to get them cheaper soon because CJ is supposed to come out with their super amp soon to replace the 8A.

hope this helps

I believe the primary issue is any difference in gain between the manufacturers, and you should be able to get this information directly from them; the alternative would be to purchase something like the Brystron Pro amps: these have a volume control on them.

The N802s will sound great bi-amped.
