in the ideal situation yes. it doesn't have to be though as long as it's close to the high end of the rms, most of those statements in amp manuals that say that if you don't have more rms than the subs they will cause damage are just there to protect the company. Do NOT go with the max on either the amp and the subs, only use rms. it is good to have more. for instance, my subs max rms is 400, so an amp with rms of 475-500 would be perfect, depending on what kind of enclosure you have them in.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What do you need to install subwoofers?
you need an amp and an amp wiring kit
How do you connect subwoofers without all the wires?
that's impossible, unless you want to hook it straight up to the radio, which is possible but you will only be getting 50 watts into a subwooer that usually has around 250-1000 watts so it will barely have any to no excursion, the reason why people have amps is because it has more wattage then a regular stereo..but you don't want to have a too big of a amp because that will blow your subwoofers, so you need to find a amp that is suitable for your subwoofers
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
I have two 1200 watt subwoofers for my car Do you need an amp and if so what size Will they affect your battery much?
First you will absolutely need an amp to power any subwoofers. Nowadays subwoofers come along with amp..& normally one 1200watt subwoofer decrease your car battery lifetime to 2-4 month
Will an amp that puts out 185 watts RMS per channel blow two subwoofers rated at 175 watts RMS if I don't push them?
Wire them in series and you should be ok.
If you have two 300 watt subwoofers for your vehicle then what size amp do you need?
This is determined by how you wire your subs to your amp. If you get an amp that's bridgeable to mono, then you can wire your subs in series. You will get much more thump if you do it this way. However, make certain that your amp is bridgeable, and stable down to 2 or even 1 Ohms. Check with the dealer you buy from. When wired the way I mentioned, a 300-Watt amp will probably do nicely!
Do you need to run an amp with subwoofers?
Yes. Most head units only put out about 15-20 watts RMS, you need more than that to properly power a subwoofer. Ignore peak ratings, only use RMS ratings to match everything together.
How big should the amp be to two 12 subwoofers?
What you need to know is the RMS power rating and ohms of the subwoofer. (Example; RMS is 300 watts and it is a 2 ohm sub. This is what you would need. You have 2 subs so a total of 600 watts. So you want an amp with a max power rating of 600 watts, but he is the tricky part. They were 2 ohm subs. So your amp needs to be 2 ohm stable. No there all not 90% of amps are only 4 ohm stable.)
How do you hook up subwoofers in a car?
you need an amplifier first. decide where you want the amp, and wire it to that point. (amp comes with instructions for the wiring) once the amp is wired in, wire it to the radio(instructions come with amp) and screw it in. then locate where you want the sub(s) and wire it to that from the amp. almost all your instructions for installing subwoofers comes with the amp.
What subs can a 3000 watt amp handle?
A 3000-watt amp can typically handle subwoofers with a combined RMS power rating that matches or is below its output capacity. For example, if you have dual subwoofers rated at 1500 watts RMS each, the amp can effectively power them if wired correctly. It's crucial to consider the impedance of the subs and ensure they are compatible with the amp's output configuration to avoid damaging either component. Always refer to the specific amp and sub specs for optimal matching.
