pyle

i have a 18" 4 ohm pyle sub that is 1800 peak watt and was wondering how much watt amp i need to hook up to it to get the best sound out of it. Right now I have a Lanzar 1600 max pro but i dont know if that is enough for it

you probably already know that you have crap equipment. i would spend some money on a decent sub and amp and sell that stuff. i would bet that you could get a 400 watt sub and amp, that is a decent brand, that will walk all over that stuff.

Pyle..Lanzar? Ummm I dunno what to say but, Thats a great combo, Both ****, amp wont put out what it says, and sub wont take what it says, So umm I think you'll be fine, Plus that's MAX rating's

and of u 2 dawgin it have u ever ran it??? prolly not LOL

they have a bad rep.

if u have it go with it. the ma's im messin with have a bad rep and max at 1600 supposibly and ive givin 1500 daily as loud as it goes and hvae yet to have a failure.

id like to get my hands on one of those pyles to test on it to see how it does... where did u get it and how much???

traded 2 15" lanzar max pro for that speaker it hits pretty **** good the way its setup right now so i dont see why everyone is dawgin on them but i had a thought to trade it all in for a 15" L7 just figuring out what would be best setup

don't waste your time. that lanzar would be lucky to put out 500 rms. and the pyle sub would be lucky to handle that. i ran both when i was in high school, before i could get decent advice from the net.

you cannot compare a pyle with an L7.

i know that a L7 will hit harder than a pyle thats not the point... the question was what would be a suitable amp for this sub

 

[2000LaDe 10+ year member]

sure u can... they are both built like shit just one sounds worse than the other.... both seem to be quiet subs.

but i still wanna play with a couple of the pyles to see what they are capable of so i can laugh at people who say they cant handle such and such power and they dont get loud and ect.....

pretty much all the people that are not realists.

is that pyle a dual 4 ohm sub??? and do u have a picture???

 

[koolj76 10+ year member]

i think you're about at the limit for that sub. it's kinda hard to tell with cheaper companies because they use max power ratings, which mean nothing. i would guess that the amp and sub are pretty close though. if you aren't going to upgrade both, i would stick with what you have and maybe build an enclosure for the sub to get the most out of it. it's the cheapest option and probably the most effective to get more output.

you go ahead and do that. i have owned both. i had a single polk 200 watt rms sub easily outdo 2 pyles. and polk isn't even the best around.

well finally a realist on the forums....

yah id definetly build an enclosure to fit the power and sub needs to maximize output of the sub. im sure the amp is fine for it. u dont wanna test limits on a speaker unless its a test speaker and thats the reason ur puttin that much power on something.

so u say its a dual 4 ohm voice coil??? is it this model PL1890BL????
