You can, but u will blow the sub most likely. So I would NOT suggest it.

Does a pencil sharpener use current when not being used but plugged in?

Of course it does not use one bit of current. Pencil sharpeners have a switch that activates the current. When it is being used, it uses about .05 of an Amp. When not in use, there is zero current being used, even if plugged in. This is the same for an office stapler, etc. Hope that helps! Howard


What is the difference between oscillator and feedback amplifier?

There are two differences: a) the amount of feedback you allow b) whether you wire a frequency-determining device into the circuit First things first: ANY amplifier circuit that uses feedback, which these days is most of 'em because feedback improves the quality of an amp's output, will oscillate if there's enough feedback. This poses a real problem because the more feedback you use, the better the amp sounds. Your challenge, therefore, is to make an amp that uses not quite enough feedback to oscillate. The other is equally critical. If you want oscillation you usually want it on a specific frequency. You can build an LC tank or a crystal into the circuit to determine the output frequency if you're building an oscillator; if you're building an amp you wouldn't do this.


What instrument disperses light into its component wavelengths using a prism?

Component wavelengths are usually present in radio active decay in a form of light, but you could use an electric guitar, using the amp as a transformer of vibrations to electricity to vibration/ lights


What is the Relation between si unit and amp cgs unit?

The relevant SI bases are MKS.Length: cgs system uses centimetre, MKS uses metre = 100 centimetres. Mass: cgs system uses grams, MKS uses kilogram = 1000 grams. Time: they both use seconds.


What device raises voltage?

Depending on your application... Use a voltage dividor (two resistors) if it doesn't draw a lot of current. You could also try a voltage regulator or using an op amp as a buffer, with the input the voltage you want. That voltage could come from a voltage divider, since op amps draw extremely low current.

What is a passive subwoofer?

A passive subwoofer doesn't have a built-in amp and will require the use of an amp.


What amp do you use for a car subwoofer?

You must first check with the guide to your subwoofer. Either you can probably find it online , but you need to know the RMS wattage for the subwoofer. Than buy an amp that can put out the same number of watts and the RMS is for the subwoofer.


Sony Xplod XM-1652z 1000watt amp for my car and it has a high power input spot what does this do i have the connector but what do you connect to it and what does it do?

It's so you can use your stereo speaker output wires to the amp without having to use RCA cables It should say High Level Input and you use it or RCA cables. Not both. If you plan on using the amp to power subs use RCAs. If you plan on running mids and highs you can use what you like. If your stereo has front and/or rear RCA outputs as well as sub output it's your call


What is a 3 4 and 5-Channel Amp used for with bass in a car?

With Subwoofers only, you would want to go with only a 1 channel or 2 channel amp, 5 channel amps are designed to power 4 smaller speakers, and 1 subwoofer. Each channel basically refers to a different speaker - if you're using 2 regular left and right Speakers (not Subwoofers), use 2 channel setting, if you have 4 Speakers plus a subwoofer, use 5 channel setting. Make sure subwoofer is tested with the lowest gain/volume.


How many watts per hour does a 6.0 diesel 350 Ford block heater use?

How do I connect my desktop pc to my HDMI samsung tv along with an external subwoofer?

Well, you are talking about two separate sound outputs. The audio built into the PC and the audio system that is built into the HDMI system. If you don't use the audio from your pc...the sound is heard from your hdmi device...in this case the TV. Most TVs don't have a spot to simply attach a subwoofer and you have to once again send the output (from the TV) to an external amp...where you can attach external speakers and a subwoofer. Or...you can simple use the PC audio to plug into a speaker system with a subwoofer. Your TV becomes strictly a MONTIOR.

Can you hook a car subwoofer to a DJ amp?

Yes you can hook up a car subwoofer to a dj amp. Some dj amps have a barewire hook up on them so you can hook it up using the same wires as you would with your car amp. If not then you would have to either convert your hook up on the speaker box to the style in which your amp takes, or splice new ends onto your existing wires to hook up to the amp. The one thing to watch out for is your rms and peak power. Dj amps tend to be a bit more powerful then car amps and you can cause damage to your speaker and or amp by forcing to much power, or by giving to little power. I suggest trying it out at home for a good amount of time on a med. power level to see if the amp and speaker can hold to a couple hours of non stop use before I would take it to a gig with me.


Why does your sub woofer only turn on with the radio and not for your bluetooth input?

Because of the blue power remote wire leading from your head unit to your subwoofer amplifier acts like a light switch. When you turn your head unit(stereo) on it turns on your amp powering the subwoofer but if you use blue tooth the unit is designed for talking not for bass so it will not send sound signal to the subs.


What size kicker amp do i need for a kicker comp subwoofer. do i need the mono or class d amp 300watt?

When buying an amp its best and safe to use the 1:1 ratio. That would mean if subs RMS was rated at 350 watts then get a 350 watt amp. Alot of installers will use 3:1 ratio because the subs max rated at 1200 watts so they say you will need a 1200 watt amp. But the truth is that sub may only peak a fraction of a millisecond. So unless your competing for a title championship there is no need to destroy you subs that you paid so much for.


Can one use pioneer subwoofer TS-WX80BP in home theater system?

No, this is a passive subwoofer designed for car audio applications. Modern home theatre receivers have no amplifier for the subwoofer and expect a powered sub.
