Can you run two 15 audiopipe subwoofers off a 550 RMS monoblock amp?

You can but it probably won't hit that hard. I don't know the subs rms but if there 15s should be atleast 800 to 1000 rms . Get 1 Audiopipe 1500 monoblock . That will push them

If you have two 1400 watt subwoofers that have a 700 watt RMS should you get an amplifier that has the watts of both of the subwoofers together 2800 or should you get an amplifier with only 1400 watts?
get the 2800
Will an amp that puts out 185 watts RMS per channel blow two subwoofers rated at 175 watts RMS if I don't push them?
Wire them in series and you should be ok.
What power of amplifier will you need to for 1000 watt subwoofers?
Find out what the rms is for that sub woofer,if it'1000 then find out what the max is,then you could go between the rms power and the max power to get the right amount of watts.
What kind of amp do you need if you have 2 12 inch subwoofers that have an rms rating of 250 watts each?
To power your speakers, and to ensure that your amp has enough power to power your subwoofers, you would need at least an amp of 750 watts true power.
Do you need to run an amp with subwoofers?
Yes. Most head units only put out about 15-20 watts RMS, you need more than that to properly power a subwoofer. Ignore peak ratings, only use RMS ratings to match everything together.
You have 2 subwoofers at 400 watts RMS each Do you need an amplifier of 800 watts RMS?
no you dont There are a couple of options. you can buy a 2 chanel with 400W rms per chanel, or a mono at 800w. make sure you match the ohms of you speakers with you amp. If your amp is 800w rms at 2ohm, it's 400w rms at 4 ohms. So if your speakers are 4 ohms, they wouldn't be getting the power they need. And remember you can blow speakers by under powering them, but not by over powering them.
How big of an amp do you need for to 17 inch subs?
for Two* 17 inch subs? Assuming this is what you mean, your question is still completely unanswerable. All you have to do when getting an amp is basically to match up the RMS Wattage on the Subwoofers to the RMS Wattage output on the amp. Impedance will factor into this as well.
Does your amp need more watts then your subwoofers?
in the ideal situation yes. it doesn't have to be though as long as it's close to the high end of the rms, most of those statements in amp manuals that say that if you don't have more rms than the subs they will cause damage are just there to protect the company. Do NOT go with the max on either the amp and the subs, only use rms. it is good to have more. for instance, my subs max rms is 400, so an amp with rms of 475-500 would be perfect, depending on what kind of enclosure you have them in.
How do I know what size Alpine subwoofers to use in my car?
Depending on the desired sound quality and the size of your car, your best bet would be to stick with 10" or 12" Subwoofers as these would take up a moderate amount of space and offer lower frequency response (i.e. deeper bass) than 8" or 6.5" subwoofers. Pay close attention to the maximum RMS wattage and the size of the magnet (bigger is better).
How do subwoofers work?
Subwoofers are loud speakers used for the purpose of reproducing low frequencies (10Hz - 150Hz). They use large magnets to move a firm cone in order to produce the frequencies. A current is passed through the magnet causing the cone to move producing bass. Subwoofers in cars and in home theatre systems use amplifiers to boost electrical power to provide large amounts of the deep notes. I have 2 15" Kicker CVR subwoofers, custom box, 1200W RMS Audison Amplifier. Hope that helps
Will a 1600 watt amp blow a 450 watt sub woofer?
Well, it depends. When you look at subwoofers, it will say RMS and peak. Now, let's talk about the "RMS" and "peak" on the subwoofer. The RMS is the real power. That's what were gonna be looking for. The RMS is the continuous power design for the subwoofer to operate. The peak is the maximum power the subwoofer can handle. Obviously, were not gonna be running the subwoofer with its peak power because that will decrease the life of your subwoofer. Running too much power or too little can damage your subwoofer. It's also important to run it by it's RMS rating. So, I don't know if that 450 watt is the RMS or peak. I'm assuming that it's the RMS. As long as you don't bridge it, it should be fine.
How much watt amplifier should be used to run 800 rms subwoofers 2 ten inch 400rms each?
1600 watt amp. your power amp should 2x the rms value. To varify, check JBL's website and look in one of their speaker manuals, it will show you their speaker wattage and then show you the recommended power amp wattage.
