overpowering...

Actually you'd be underpowering those subs by at least 1000 watts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

lol. tell me how its gonna blow? the reason being so many people blow their speakers is the reasons stated above. thats how i blew my tweets. easy, i could hook up a 10kw sub to any speaker and won't blow. i'll have the volume at 2/80 with the gain down. i just proved it. READ.

This man is mechanical engineer....and he has over 10,000 watts to each of his speakers in his car...I've seen it, he lives next to a nuclear power plant and uses cold fussion molecular generators as amps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

You did not specify at low volumes or with a limit to output based on gain. What you said assumed full wattage and full amplified output at 100% volume.

no such thing. you can never blow a speaker as long as the speaker doesn't see frequencies it isn't supposed to see and that the amp is not getting excessive clipping. if you avoid those two, most of the time you will never blow a speaker.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so if i wired up the subs at 4ohm load,it would only get 500 watts per sub for 250 for both equaling 500watts? i dont get it.

 

[alphakenny1 10+ year member]

yes you would be getting 250 watts per sub roughly, assuming it does at least rated power.

250w per sub

 

[Anonymous User 10+ year member]

so then, what way is best to wire up my subs and amp? parallel or in a series?

 

[alphakenny1 10+ year member]

parallel to get the 4 ohm load. if you hook it up in series thats a 16 ohm load.

 

[bobo244 10+ year member]

get 2 more subs and get a 2 ohm load, they would still be seeing 250w each, but you would ahve double the surface area //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

haha, 2 more subs wouldnt even fit in my trunk. im having a hard time even finding a box that can fit in my trunk that can hold 2 12"s/

What I mean is this, by not including the clause, "limiting power by adjusting gain" it is to be assumed that the amplifier will be set up to deliver it's full unclipped power with an unclipped signal, in my case 10kw.
