Will a jbl car amplifier 5 channels 660 watts be enough to a subwoofer of 1000 watts?

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. . .

What kind of amp do you need for one 10 inch Alpine Type X subwoofer?
Alpine offered up until last year the PDX-1000 wich is a 1000 Watts RMS amplifier designed with the type X subwoofer series in mind. Now the best match would be the PDX-M12. Set the amplifier gain carefully as this amplifier is a bit strong for this subwoofer.
Is 1 farad capacitor enough for 1000 watts pioneer sub woofer?
It depends on the power rating of the amplifier. The rule of thumb is often said to be 1000 RMS watts per farad. RMS watts is basically the average output of your amp/subwoofer. The power ratings most often given by manufacturers are Peak Watts, ie. how much power the amp/sub can take before breaking down. The RMS wattage is often about half of your Peak rating. So, given that you are running your 1000w Peak Pioneer subwoofer on a 1000w Peak amplifier, and given that both of them are 500w RMS, yes, a 1 farad capacitor would give the amplifier enough juice to run the sub.
What speakers match a 300 watt 4 channel amplifier?
The ratings for the speakers will depend upon what '300 watts' means. If the amplifier develops 300 watts RMS total across 4 channels, this would indicate 75 watts RMS per channel. Speakers rated at 100 watts should suffice for this amplifier.
Does the Rockford Fosgate 12" sub have to have an Amplifier over 50 watts?
For optimal performance, match the amplifier's power output to the rating of your subwoofer. The Rockford Fosgate 12" starts at a 150-Watt rating.
What is 50 watt hi fi amplifier?
This would be an audio amplifier which can produce 50 watts of power in each of its channels (hi fi, or high fidelity, was typically one or two). Measuring 50 watts, though, is tricky, as the way audio watts have been counted has changed over the years.
How much is a subwoofer?
A subwoofer can vary in prices......it really depends on what kind of subwoofer you get including the number of watts it has.....
How many watts can the Rockford Fosgate Prime 2-Channel Car Amplifier handle?
The Rockford Fosgate R150-2 2-channel amp puts out 50 watts RMS per channel to your speaker system, or you can bridge it to supply 150 watts RMS to a subwoofer.
Can your cars battery hold up a 1200 watt amplifier with 2 12 inch 500 watts speakers and a 12 inch 1300 watt subwoofer?
Yes should be fine.
How many watts does a alpine 3513 amplifier have?
2x20 Watts
How loud does a monster amplifier get?
A monster amplifier is about 500 watts, which means the amplifier is louder than most.
Can you use car subwoofer with your home stereo?
You need to make sure the impedance matches or you will blow you amplifier! It would be best to replace it with the same brand as the speakers, feed it with a digital cable. There won't be a problem of overloading your amplifier.
What important factors should I consider when buying an amplifier for my car?
There are a bunch of important factors to consider prior to buying an amplifier for a vehicle. Primarily, you must decide what the amplifier will be primarily used for. If the amplifier will be used for powering subwoofers it would be good to consider the bridged or mono capabilities as well as ohm ratings of the amplifier as well as the draw, or amount of power the amplifier will pull from the car's electrical system. The most important factor in considering an amplifier for powering subwoofers is probably output watts, which will determine the amplifier's power to the speakers and the amount of bass to be transmitted. If the amplifier is to be used to power mid or high range speakers, a multi channel (four or more) amplifier should be considered because of the ability to run multiple sets of speakers or component sets off of the different channels of the amplifier. The considerations inherent to the subwoofer amplifier are also present including watt ouput and power draw, but when selecting a multi cha
