is going over a subs rms rating by 200w ok

[TERROR-TRON-74 10+ year member]

the pioneer TS-W3001D2 have a rms rating of 1000w, if i use a 1200w hifonics brutus, will the extra 200w be ok on the sub. i hear you can overpower your subs a little, how much is a little ?

In your case you should be fine because that amp is overrated by 200-300rms. My buddy had this amp before and it's really not that impressive.

When playing music, you will be just fine. Pioneer does not overrate their products and Hifonics does. You'll likely to reach their physical power handling before you reach their thermal limits, anyway, as Pioneer SPL's have a relatively low xmax. Just make sure you set your gains properly.

it varies from sub to sub. there are some subs that wont even take rated power and there some that will take more than double what their rated at. im not sure about your particular model on how they preform and what they can handle.

some one correct me if im wrong, but i do believe the hifonics amps dont even do rated power so the amp wont actually give you the full 1200 rms.

hope i helped a little bit.

Everyone above is correct, that Hifonics will only deliver about 900-1000w of clean power. Keep your gains out of distortion levels. You will be fine.

Like they're saying by setting the gains properly, if you crank the gains and the bass boost and cause the amp to clip you're likely to blow the speakers. No clipping and you'll be good.

Great //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif But, I don't suggest it for everybody.
