I Have A 2 Channel Kenwood Amp 700 Watt And I Was Wondering If A 1 300 Watt Rms Sub Would Be Too

I have 4 Kenwood 10" subs maxing out at 1000 watts. Are these going to fit on the Pyramid PB1644X 4000 Watt

Man, reading that put me in a bad mood. How can Outkast break up already when they've only been around for like 18 years. Look at Public Enemy, they have been making music for over 25 years and they are still releasing new stuff from time to time. It's all right to concentrate on different projects, but going out there and saying there won't be any more Outkast albums is just disappointing your fan base. BQ: On his own, I wouldn't. Outkast as a group would be way up there, though. BQ2: Greatest of all time is a matter of opinion, but he certainly wouldn't be helping his career if he waits too long to release any albums. BQ3: No, but it's a great album BQ4: Same place they are now. 10 years is not a long time in the Hip-Hop world, when some times people take 10 years just to release an other album.

Question, I have a 300 Watt RMS Kenwood 2 chan. It gets power and grounds but wont power the sub... any ideas?

i have this problem wit my amp the amp aint turnin on i hooked a wire to the remote wire and the power wire but u will have to pull the wire out everytime u shut the car off or it will stay on.. or u car connect a switch to the wire to switch off or u can hook the remote wire to a fuse in the fuse panel to shut it off and on wen the car shuts off u will have to find the radio fuse n put the end of the remote wire n the slot n push the fuse n to hold the wire in hope this helps

Probably 800 watts at half the rated ohms of one speaker. Your amp must be able to push 800 watts at, say, 2 ohms if these are 4 ohm speakers or 800 watts at 4 ohms if these are 8 ohm speakers.It will say on the speakers what the impedance in ohms is.Get an amp that is specified with 800 watts or over, at an ohm rating that is SAME or UNDER…half the ohm rating of one of those speakers.That's the answer here's a short ramble:Almost inevitably you will be running the two speakers in parallel. Whether you have two outputs on your power amplifier; or if you go into one speaker then go out from that speaker to the next; the connection you don't see inside the speaker with in and out or inside the amp is a parallel connection. Parallel connections divide the impedance (ohms.) It takes a bigger amp to handle lower impedance, because lower impedance is lower AC resistance. Lower resistance means more amps flowing for the same output voltage. More amps requires a beefier output section. The actual equation for total speaker ohms of speakers wired in parallel is:Total ohms = 1/((1/ohms#1)+(1/ohms#2))…If you put in a third speaker there would be another similar term in the denominator, (1/ohms of speaker #3). More speakers, lower ohms…The amp will say what the watts and ohms are on the back, or at least in the manual it will tell you what it can handle. Be at or below the ohms, and above the watts.

I have two 12" 4 ohm Punch P3s with a Kenwood KAC-9152D amp RMS Power: 500W x 1 @ 4 ohms while 900 at 2ohms

The issue may be in how the sub is wired and the configuration of the subs themselves.

We need to know if the subs are dual voice coils or single and the ohms they are.

Y!IM me an I'll help you get this up and running.

If i have 150 watts at 2 channels hooked up to a 300 watt rms subwoofer will it power it correctly?

If the sub is the model CVR124 (with 4 ohm voice coils), the amp should drive it pretty well if you bridge the amp and wire each voice coil to the separate bridged outputs.

The sub is rated to handle 400 watts RMS (200 watts per voice coil). With channels 1/2 and 3/4 bridged and each set of bridged channels driving a separate voice coil, the total power will be 300 watts RMS (150 watts to each voice coil).

If the sub is the model CVR122 (with 2 ohm voice coils), you're out of luck. Any way you configure the amp and sub will result in either reduced power or too low of an impedance for the amp to handle. The best you can do is 75 watts to each voice coil wiring them separately to just 2 of the channels (amp channels unbridged).

In either case (with DVC 2 ohm or DVC 4 ohm subs), you need to input "exactly" the same signal to all channels on the amp. Otherwise, different output signals going to separate voice coils will likely cause distortion and perhaps cancel each other out.

To get the same signal to each channel (or as close as possible), use just ONE channel from your head unit (or line output converter) (left or right - it makes no difference which one), and split it using an RCA "Y" adapter. Then split both of those using a pair of "Y" adapters for a total of 4 separate inputs from the same output source.

depends on the impedance specs of the subwoofers and on the stated load range of the amplifier.You can use a larger amplifier than your subs are rated for, watts-wise. Just don't operate them in obvious distortion or clipping, in that case you could destroy your subs.Basically you have the choice of wiring the subs in parallel or series.The subs should have a impedance rating, in ohms. when in parallel the load to the amp will be half the single subwoofer impedance.  In series, the amp will see a load twice the single subwoofer impdeance.for example the subwoofers are rated 8 ohms. Parallel they will be 4 ohms, in series they will be 16 ohms.Now look at  your amp specs, it will give a range of acceptable load impedance. usually this would 4 ohms, minimum.  In that case either 4 or 16 ohms is OK. If it says 8 ohms, minimum, then you must use the 16 ohm combination.if it will drive the parallel combination that is the best as it will give a greater loudness.

Can i conect alpine 4 ch amp which is 50 watt into 4 n 4 ohms wid JBL 300 RMS sub which is 5 ohms?

NO, impedance (ohms) is the least of your problems, you need a lot more RMS wattage

If you send too much power to your sub, you risk damaging it. The cone of the speaker and the mechanical parts that make it move may break under the stress. Surprisingly, too little power can also damage your subwoofer — in fact, it's actually more common than damage caused by overpowering.
When the volume is turned up and the amp doesn't have enough power, the signal becomes distorted, or "clipped." This distorted signal can cause parts of the speaker to overheat, warp and melt. Not good!
You don't have to match speaker and amp wattages exactly. An amp with a higher output than the speaker's rating won't necessarily damage the speaker — just turn the amp down a bit if you hear distortion from the sub and don't run the speaker at extremely loud volumes for lengthy periods. Likewise, you'll be OK with a lower powered amp if you keep the volume down and don't feed a distorted signal to the sub
you will send the amp into clipping
Clipping
Clipping occurs when an amplifier is asked to deliver more current to a speaker than the amp is capable of doing. When an amplifier clips, it literally cuts off the tops and bottoms of the musical waveforms that it's trying to reproduce, thus the term. This introduces a huge amount of distortion into the output signal. Clipping can be heard as a crunching sound on musical peaks.
that causes distorted sound which will damage your subs over time
