[QUOTE="Chief612, post: 8099779, member: 654718"] Im still confused tho by the RMS of an amp and sub. So how do i match the RMS on an amp with a sub or vise versa? Example if i have an amp that has: Max power(1 ohm)3000wx1 Rms power (1 ohm) 2100x1 Rms power (2 ohm)-1500wx1 Rms power(4 ohms)-1000wx1 Do i find a sub that its RMS matchs either one of the amps RMS that it can go to? another example lets take a power acoustic amp that does: RMS Power Rating: 4 ohms: 1700 watts x 1 2 ohms: 2500 watts x 1 1 ohm: 3200 watts x 1 Max power output: 5500 watts I wanted to find a sub to match that, Do i find a sub that matchs which ohm(s)? 1ohm?2ohm?4ohm? So if i get 2 12" subs that does a certain amount of RMS, lets say they do 1000RMS each, do i add them as if there 2000RMS total and match the Amps RMS with the 2000RMS? [/QUOTE]
