how do you power your subs

its funny how ppl say im giving my sub XXX watts when in reality theyre probably giving it about half of what they claim most of the time. unless you guys like to crank your volume to the volume you had it when you set your gain to X watts! i know i dont. that would be pretty **** harsh on the ears.

It's a reference point. Would you like everyone to take out an oscope and measure the exact wattage at the exact volume they're playing it at? That's real practical. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

amp: 780w

sub: 950w

2 15's rated for 500 watts rms, pushing them with 230 watts a piece.

Subs: 1000 watts rms, 2000 watts peak - Amp: 460 watts rms, 920 peak.

And the subs blew on me... Wonderful, so much for power handling ratings.

I did have a 1600w RMS sub with about 1800w on it. My new setup will be a 2000w RMS sub with around 2800-3000w on it.

I get adjusted to the sub pretty quickly and find myself nearly maxing out the volume most of the time, so yes, I can say that I do.

I have 2 12's rated at 2000 each. once i put in my new 275 amp alternator i should be giving each of them about 2400-2600 watts each

Beat that, homofags!

Seriously though, right now I have two front speakers on my doors, powered by the HU, and nothing else. The doors don't even have the panels on:crap:

BUT, I would like to purchase a Viper d2500.1 and run it with my single 15" Ti in a small, vented enclosure. With imp rise, I should end up giving it the power I want.
