[QUOTE="i2ain2thunder, post: 7591573, member: 631331"] How we in the car audio world tackle the problem of such a high electrical demand to run our high output subwoofer amplifiers is to have the proper things needed for correct operation installed in our electrical system. I.E. thick power wires, high output alternators, adding batteries and so on. We do this all to keep enough power available for our amplifier's particular needs. An amplifier's needs generally differs depending on it's rated output. Now with that in mind basic operation of a subwoofer: A subwoofer will get louder the more power it is being sent. If a subwoofer is being sent 600 watts rms it will be louder than if it was being sent 400 watts rms. For this reason we like to aim to have an amplifier that will have enough output to match (or exceed) our subwoofer's power handling. We know certain subwoofers like the SA can easily handle 1000 watts even though it is rated to only handle 600, the manufacturer is just being safe rating it that low. So many people will send them upwords of 1500 watts so that they can get very very loud. So long as the power is sufficient for the amplifier and the signal is clean the subwoofer should be able to handle much more than 600 watts is basically what we are saying. [/QUOTE]
