[QUOTE="guitarman626, post: 4297005, member: 589301"] Ok, im powering 3 subs. each with a 300RMS max. So I obviously need at least 900RMS from an amp, and I figured a 1000W Mono amp is my best bet. Heres the question, when im looking at amps and their features, I see things like this: [B][I]Mono subwoofer amplifier[/I][/B] [B]1,000 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms[/B] [B]640 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms[/B] Ok, so my subs are 4ohm DVC woofers; but i know that when you wire 3 subs to a mono amp, the mono input is pushing about 2.7ohms. Correct? So im really confused about amp descriptions like the one above. Does [B]1,000 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms [/B]mean that if the mono input is pushing 2 ohms, your subs have 1000W? If this is the case, and I'm correct about the fact that 3 subs into a mono amp pushes it's input to 2.7ohms, then how many watts will my subs get from an amp that has [B]1,000 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms[/B]?
