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.

What do the subwoofers ohms for?

the ohm is a unit of measurement based off of someones last name. When used in subwoofers, for example 4 ohms or 8 ohms, it actually determines the amount of watts the speaker needs. Like if two identical subwoofers were taken and one was 4 ohms and one 8 ohms and applied say 150 watts to each of them, the 4 ohm would be louder because ohms are the speakers resistance and the lower the ohms the less amount of power it takes for the subwoofer to reach a specific loudness. That's why professional huge subwoofers may be one ohm, because an amplifier that has less power than the sub could still power it because since its one ohm, the 500 watt amplifier at 4 ohms could be 1500 watts at 1 ohm.


Can you use a mono power amplifier to power speakers or aew they strictly for subwoofers?

Certainly, you can also use 2 mono amps to power left and right stereo channels. One for each channel. Using one mono amp for stereo results in a mono output though.


Can you run a single 2ohm dual voice coil sub and a single 4ohm DVC sub off a single mono amp?

It depends on the amplifier. If you absolutely want to leave the current subwoofer configuration as 2ohm and 4ohm, the resultant impedance seen by the amplifier is as follows: Both wired In-Series: 2ohm + 4ohm = 6 ohms Both wired In-Parallel: 1 / ( (1/2) + (1/4) ) = 1.3 ohms The Parallel configuration can probably be only run by a 1ohm-stable amplifier whereas the 6ohm Series configuration can be run by any amplifier that is able to drive anything under 6 ohms. Also if ran in the Parallel configuration, this mismatch in driver impedance may also cause the 2ohm subwoofer to receive more power, resulting in a different sound characteristics than the 4ohm subwoofer. Usually with DVC subwoofers you want to match the impedance between drivers. If possible, configure each subwoofer to 4ohms and connect them in Parallel. This will produce a total impedance of 2 ohms (you need a 2ohm-stable amplifier). If your DVC subwoofers only support 2ohms and 8ohms do either: Both wired In-Series - configure subwoofers to 2ohms: 2ohms + 2ohms = 4ohms Both wired In-Parallel - configure subwoofers to 8ohms: 1 / ( (1/8) + (1+8) ) = 4ohms.


How do you connect digital amplifier to digital amplifier?

You can look at the in and out connectors on the TV and the amplifier. You have choices that depend on the tv and amplifier, basic stereo, surround sound and tos-link. As you know in and out are connected and out and in are connected. Do not connect in and in to each other and do not connect out and out to each other.

Do speakers interfere with each other if they are too close?

yes. if two speakers are out of phase they will cancel each other out. it is most noticable in lower frequencies such as in subwoofers.


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.


Can you run two eight inch subwoofers requiring 50-100 watts of power each running at 4 ohms with a 2 channel 4 ohm amp putting out 75 watts per channel without damaging the subwoofers or the amp?

Yes


What is the difference between 10 inch and 1000 watts sub?

Your question is asking about two entirely different things. The size and the wattage it is able to handle have nothing to do with each other except for the generalization that larger subwoofers can handle more wattage than smaller subwoofers.


What is a Scaling amplifier?

3-63A SCALING AMPLIFIER is a special type of summing amplifier with the output signaldetermined by multiplying each input signal by a different factor (determined by the ratio of the input-signal resistor and feedback resistor) and then adding these products


What type of transistor is used in amplifier?

Depends on the type of amplifier. There are a lot of different circuits of amplifiers and each one of them use proper transistors, that works better for that circuit. Moreover, on every stage of the amplifier are used different transistors as well.
