people that know what they are doing = people who dont send clipped signals to their equipment.

if a sub is rated @ 2kw and someone fried it off an amp that is rated @ 1.5kw...then it was clipped plain and simple.

if you have a 2kw rms sub with a 2kw rms amp...impedance rise will never let you send that sub 2kw anyways

whats funny is these people will then complain that the sub doesnt handle its rated power.

When you say know what your doing, you mean people who have an electrical upgrade, cause thats all im really getting out of it is that you need clean power. So lets see here everyone who has an electrical upgrade knows what there doing. My comp car can do 4000rms on each 15" idspl which are rated for 1000rms so wrms. Does that mean I know what im doing, NO! I still dont know shit about this stuff I just bought a bunch of batts and an Ohio 300a alt. You dont have to be a pro to do that stuff just have to have money to spend.
Next time you rate people on how good they know what they are doing dont let it be on how much power they can put to a sub. Try like how well they can build a box or instal.

Instead of posting stupid shit like this, why dont you use the time to learn about how to tell when you're clipping an amp?? or maybe how to use something like an o-scope so you dont fry your own equipment. It doesnt matter how much money you have to spend, unless you know how to properly setup and use the equipment, you will fry shit.

no wonder the thing fried your puttin enough watts to run a type x of a fi off that. im running a alpine x at 1000 right now and it sounds great is all i can say.

people that know what they are doing won't actually allow the sub to see 1500 watts. Like justin already said, there is a difference between putting a 2k amp on a sub and actually giving it 2k.

Nope. Sorry. Try again.

People that know what they are doing like to give the sub more than the rms
