1100 watt sony xplod amp keeps blowinboth fuses?
Hate to say it but Sony Xplode amps suck, it would be alot more feesable to reinstall the Fosgate amp you had then to try and run a amp that even though claims to be 1100W is not even close to being that! And personally i have owned Fosgate before and if you want clean power they are one of the best, and Sony is crappy power and that is being nice!
Can a 400 watt amp power a 1000 watt sub-woofer?
I got a 400 watt (max power) amplifier its a Sound Storm Laboratories its an f4.400, 4 channel with continuously variable input, gain control, low pass crossover, high pass crossover, line and speaker level inputs,remote turn on/off circuit. I also got a 10inch sub-woofer online its a Plye blue wave, it is 1000 watts max power handling, 4 ohm high power with 2" high temperature dual voice coil. i also got a 10 gauge amp installation kit. This is my first install and these products had very good reviews and I got them for cheap. Their being installed in a 2003 Mazda protege LX wanting to know if they would work together or if i need another amp to get full power from my sub. any tips hints or guides or anything you guys have to help me get the best install will be great i buy from amazon most of the time and I always look for the best i can get for the lowest prices so if you have any suggestion for me that would be awesome too (I'm going with a black and blue theme) -Thanks
How much amp needed to 1,000 watts JBL subwoofers?
Assuming 8 Ohms, you need 11 Amperes RMS for 1,000 Watts, or 15 Amps peak for sine wave signal.For a 1,000 Watt powered sub, you would need about 10 Amperes at 120 Volts, assuming digital amplification.BUT, powered subwoofer power ratings are not regulated by the FTC “truth in advertising” protocols, so advertising 1,000 Watts, even for a reputable company like JBL, is almost certainly exaggerated. It is further an unreliable measure of how loud and low the subwoofer goes, even for their professional stage models.The real answer is in the “Plate Amps”, the specification for how much current the sub needs on the power cord.
Will a 3000 watt amplifier power 2 1200 watt subwoofers well without harm?
Applying 1500Watts to a 1200Watt subwoofer will probably damage it.Amplifier manufacturers can boost power two ways. 1) They can increase voltage to speakers. 2) They can reduce speaker impedance.Let’s say your amplifier delivers 3000 Watts into two ohms. Let’s say each sub woofer is 4 ohms. Placed in parallel you get two ohms loading: the amplifier can deliver 1500 watts into each speaker. Don’t do this.Placed in series, two four ohm speakers present 8 ohms impedance to the amplifier. Each speaker gets half the voltage. Power on each speaker drops to 1/4*1500Watts=375 Watts per sub woofer. That probably wouldn’t blow 1200Watt sub woofers. You might not notice a difference between 2400 watts and 750 watts.I don’t know how many ohms your amplifier can drive. I don’t know how many ohms your sub woofers are. This example only shows putting speakers in series reduces power delivery to one quarter of what each speaker would get wired in parallel.
If I have two 400 watt RMS subwoofers what size amp do I need? How can you tell?
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.
1000 Watt Sony Xplod Amp, what sub or subs should I get?
Hey I got a 1000 watt Sony Xplod XM-GTX1852. Yeah I know a lot of people hate Sony but lets not get into that here. Suffice it to say that I personally really like this amp. Anyway, I've had several systems, 2 of which were cheap subs that got loud but didn't last. The others sounded great but were a little too much for this amp and wouldn't go loud enough for my tastes. With all the subs that are out there today it's taking me forever to figure out what sub or subs I should get now. I want a setup that's around 500-700 watt RMS. 10's or 12's doesn't matter to me I just need something that gets loud and can shake my Jeep a little. If possible I would really like to get only one sub cause it's nice to save space and all, but I would be ok with getting two. As far as budget goes, yeah I'm kinda strapped at the moment so I'm hoping to spend no more than like 100 on the subs themselves. Just wondering if anybody has some suggestions? Thanks
Will my Subwoofers blow if i hook them up with a sony xplod 1000 watt amp?
First you will never get 1000w from an Xplod amp they highly over rated as most companies do (NO DISRESPECT) just truth but you can get a clean bassin sytem with the amps you have the sub have a good rms so for now lets focus on the power source ie..proper fuses being used battery,alt or cap in order to run a 500w plus system there must be a stable pwr supply without it you cant push sound at any wattage if that checks out then check all wiring maybe a loose cable and last but not least how are the speakers wired ex. bridged,parallel is the amp 1ohm,2ohm stable and whats the speaker rating you can damage your amps if ohms are not matching ..good luck and you will be booming in no time....
How many watts does an amplifier need to power 2, 12" subwoofers in order to bump hard, but not blow my subs?
ignore 'peak' or 'max' wattage ratings. those are nothing but marketing b.s. only use the watts rms rating. look for an amplifier that makes around 800 watts rms at a 2 ohm load.
