    Help understanding output vs volume

    Thank you all for the help and input. If a speaker is hooked up can u measure watts with Multi Meter if u touch the leads on the amp?

    Is there a sundown 15 that will sound good in sealed box.

    I have around 3.5 cubic feet available. I have teo alpine type r 12s but am afraid i would not be happy with just one. I have ran 10s, 12s and 18s but never a 15. Thought i would try it.

    What about the Ultimax? The Dayton HO just doesn't look very robust.

    I'm wanting to run 1 15 in a sealed box in my car. Is there a Sundown that would sound good in a sealed box? If not what brand would you go with. Budget is between 4 and 500 for 1:15

    At average listening what output could you expect from a thousand watt amp?

    Help understanding output vs volume

    I believe I understand how frequency and resistance affects the output of the amp but all of the testing I can find online the volume/signal is turned up to right before clipping and watts are evaluated. I'm still trying to figure out how much power an in amp draw if you only turn the volume up...

    Help understanding output vs volume

    I am having a hard time understanding power output vs. Volume. If I have an amp that is 1000 Watts RMS and the volume is at 25% is the amp output near 250 watts. Meaning a draw of around 20 amps? Furthermore if the gains are set properly in the volumes at 50% is it at 500 watts or around 40...

    Amp Brand to get? Been out a long while

    I am powering two Alpine Type R 12's. Back in the day I would go pickup a Phoenix Gold and call it a day. All these news brands and visible testing. What amp manufacturer should I be looking at for 1000-2000 @ ohm rms. Between $350-$500
