A guy want to sell me a KAC929 1000 WATT amp for $100. A great deal i think, and the amp is in great condition!

I dont know if its gunna work for what im looking for though...

Im trying to powere 3 JBL 15"s 4Dual Voice Coil which have a max 300RMS.

That means I need at least 900W from an amp, so i was planning on getting a 1000Watt amp anyways.

Here are some quick details on the amp that I grabbed off of a website:

Key Features: Stereo, mono or Tri-Way output 1000 watts max power 460 watts x 1 in bridged mode 230 watts x 2 at 2 ohms requires 4-gauge power and ground leads wiring and hardware not included with amplifier 50-200 Hz low-pass crossover, 18 dB/octave selectable 0/+6/+12 dB bass boost at 90 Hz speaker-level inputs 4-way protection circuitry cooling fan signal-to-noise ratio 100 dB dimensions: 10-1/4"W x 2-1/4"H x 13-3/4"D

Can somebody let me know pretty quick if this amp is going to power my 3 JBL 15"s?

Thanks,

-Cade

if your trying to drive your subs to the rms power, then no it wont be enough. you need 900 rms to drive the 3 subs but that amp, you say, is only 450 rms so that would only be 150 rms to each sub.

ok, so do you guys think it would be good to use it for 2 of my subs? Wouldnt that be 300 RMS to each of two 15" subs?
