All car speakers will go well with a 500 Watt amp, but for the best effect, get a power subwoofer.
Yes depending on how many channels the amp has. You usually want to place each speaker on its own channel. If this amp has at least three channels, the output of the used channels would be 1500 watts / 3 = 500 watts per speaker.
My personal rule of thumb is that the amp should be at least 40% more powerful than the speaker(s) it's driving. So, if your sub is 1500W RMS, then mathematically, you'd need approximately a 2100W RMS amp. Some people just match it evenly - in that case you'd need a 1500W RMS amp. Whatever you do, DON'T use an amp less powerful than the speaker. If you do, you will probably kill the speaker in a short period of time. :(
An amp can only put out so much power without distortion. A speaker, say, a subwoofer, will utilize whatever the amp is able to put out. So the question is not will a speaker fry an amp, but whether the amp will blow the speaker. (Not, in your example) Any speaker, though, needs a certain amount of power to begin to drive it to listenable levels. High-efficiency speakers like bass-reflex speakers need only 5 or 10 watts for loud levels, while a low-efficiency speaker may not even make a squeek until they are fed with 10 to 15 watts of power. sO will this set up work or not?
500 watts P=VI
im by no means an expert but the answer is yes you just wont get full potential out of the speakers. the amp is pushing 700 watts the speakers are capable of catching 1000 watts.
500 and 27 watts
the speaker will be pushed past its farthest flex point and it will eventually start tearing the actual speaker and will break
It depends on the model speaker. The speaker has an RMS amperage rating used for choosing the amp size needed. You would want to choose the upper number if there is a range. For example 50-200 rms watts, choose an amp with 200 watts. It is worse for the speaker to have too little than too many amps. Crutchfield even recommends 75%-150% of the RMS rating. You will also need to know the OHMs of the speaker when choosing the amp. There are sub woofers rating at 2 and other rated for 4 OHMS and have different amp requirements.
sure you can, your amp will only deliver 52 watts to the speaker, more importend would be the impedance of the speaker . it should be equal to what your amp has! may be 8 ohms
1000W will be suitable. See the specifications of speaker.
In laymen 's terms, yes. But the "Watts" of a speaker is not what the total power of the speaker is. The are usually two different ratings for speakers to determine the total power. One is "RMS", which means root-means square. And the terms "peak or continuose power". A speaker can be 400 Watts, 360 RMS, 390 continuous power. That means it will take an amp at least 400 Watts to drive the speaker properly. And the speaker will perform at 360 Watts RMS, and peak out at 380 Watts continuous power. Remember, u can't blow a speaker from overpowering it. Only from under power. The speaker will distort and sound horrible from overpowering, but it will not blow.
Yes you can use anything 500 watts or larger to power the Kicker 08DS.
