Powering my infinity perfect 12.1???

[krizzeam 10+ year member]

i have an audiobahn A8002T. if i bridge this amp to 1 channel at 4 ohms it pushes 800 watts. my sub is 350 rms, 1400w max. is 800 watts too much for continuous power for this sub?

Yes, that is about double what you should send it.

DO NOT overpower the perfects 350w max believe me i gave 400 and lit up a vc...350s their thermal rating and it doesnt stand much of a chance at 800

You could use that amp.. that is if you kept the gain quite low.

just get another sub and watch your gains

I have two perfects running at 300 rms and they work great. If I was you I would get a new amp or new subs if you want, if you keep the gain really low then you won't get the whole frequency response. They will hit hard but won't hit on the higher frequencys well.

bah!.. that amp prolly doesent push 800 rms i estimate that it is about 720 max i dont think youll blow your sub with that amp.

the gain is just to match the input voltage. It doesnt' really affect frequency response unless you clip the amp.

400w coming out of an amp with the gains high would be the same as 400w coming out another amp with gain set low. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yes it will blow the sub unless the gain is almost all the way down. Their thermal rating is 400 watts i think which means the VC melts at that power level.
