[QUOTE="The Camry, post: 8456837, member: 657974"] Obviously much of it is car/sub/enclosure specific but im curious as to what the minimum amount of power you would run to one sub and still consider it to be worth while. I ask for two reasons. 1.Because im designing a system for someone that would never bother to lower the volume at stop lights or monitor their voltage and thus im afraid if i installed a 1k sub amp and 120rms 4 channel. They'd park and pound at idle and fry the the amps. I am trying to be safe here and build an SQ system that can still get loud enough that it can play an EDM/Dubstep song with authority. 2. Ive seen many many 5 channel amps that will say something like 2-500rms on their 5th channel and i just cant bring myself to really believe thats enough power(especially after rise) to have a great substage. I have next to no experience in a car with a lower powered sub I know alot of you consider what i run (1k) to be low powered, you bass heads you.. [/QUOTE]
