Want this question answered?
200 RMS 4 channel or 2 channel so u know add the rms of the speakers to find the amp rms needed
It depends on the rms of the two cvrs combined. Also if the 1200 watt amp is 1200 watt rated (rms) or 1200 watt peak. Lets say the two kickers have an rms of 600 watt each, and the amp is 1200 watt rms, which it probably isnt but i'll pretend. This set up would work because 600 of the amps watts would be correctly matched with one sub, and the other 600 would go to the other sub.
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.
kicker ZX650.4 for sure
nope your powering it just right
I'm guessing your talking car audio, and you mean the speakers have a higher wattage rating than your stereo output. its a good idea not to underpower speakers too much. the sound will be distorted, and you could possible damage the speakers. there are two ratings of wattage for speakers and amps. RMS and Peak watts. always build your system using the RMS wattage. its is the real wattage. the peak is only usefull in the labratory its built in. RMS is is constant ability to put out, or receive that power all the time. The impedence (ohm value) of the speakers is important, it should be the same as the amp.
What you want to look for is the RMS of the amp and the sub. . . im going to guess that the 660 is the peak watts of the amp and the 1000 is the peak of the sub so in that case the amp would push it but not like is can be pushed. . . with 1000 watts your sub's rms is around 600 i would guess so you need an amp around 600 rms and you want to get and amp that has 2 channels so you can bridge the amp and get more power to your sub you can try that with the 660 watt amp you have and you should hear a big difference. . .
RMS is the max watts its recommended to run on, for example i got 2 15's that are 3000 watt rms so i got a 2500 watt amp. You don't want to get too big of an amp because it will put stress on the speakers and wont last long.
Yes. Peak power or max output is rubbish. You will never get clarity at a speaker or amp's max output. RMS is what it's all about.
Most factory speakers are any any where from 10 - 25 watts RMS. I wouldn't put factory speakers on an amp unless you want to blow them.
sure. Will it be loud? No. Its just not enough power to drive that sub.
Yes, the sub will work fine. Speakers ususally have two ratings, RMS which is constant power handling and peak power- meaning it can handle peaks of the higher rating. If your speaker is rated for 1300 watts then that is likely the peak rating. It is better to use speakers that are rated for more than the power of the amp you are using so there is no chance of blowing the speakers. The speakers will also produce cleaner sound when the amp is running close to capacity without overdriving and distorting the speaker. Also, if the amp is a stereo amp rated for 1200 watts it is only putting out a maximum of 600 watts per channel.
