Hey, Ive got a few newbie questions.
1) Say i get an amp (mono) and the amp is 1000x1 @ 2 ohm , and i want to hook up 2 subwoofers to it that are each 500W RMS. Does this mean from that amp, i can get 1000W RMS out of EACH sub, or do i have divide it by two (since there is 2 subs) and there would be 500W RMS going through each sub?
Example:
Amp Spec's:
500x1 @ 4 ohm
1000x1 @ 2 ohm
1500x1 @ 1 ohm
Sub Spec's:
1000W Max
500W RMS
2) Does ohms on the subs affect anything? Like RMS power, Hooking up subs to amp, ect... Also, if i was making a setup like this, would i need 2ohms subs or 4ohms subs?
How would i hook them both up, and how are they affected?
3) Does Dual Voice Coils or Single Voice Coils on the subs affect anything? Like RMS power, Hooking up subs to amp, ect... Also, if i was making a setup like this, would i need Dual Voice Coil subs or Single Voice Coil subs?
How would i hook them both up, and how are they affected (with question #2 also)?
Thanks,
Brian
