If you have 2 subs 1500 watts ea what amp do you need?

Answer 1

Well um hmm see the problem with that is there are a lot of different kinds of 1500 watt subs let alone if they are 1500rms or peak an if they are single or dual voicecoils, an if it runs at 1,2,3,4 ohm etc. So first before you start lookin around at amps you should try and figure out what the wattage(should say something like power handling) is lookin like on those woofers an see the ohms(it should just say like 1 ohm 2 ohms 4 ohms etc but there mite be a little symbol that looks like this Ω that's the symbol for ohm). You may also want to check the frequency response see if they are made to hit the real lows or the higher up bass(Etc. 35-250Hz) This is important because now that you have verified this, now the search for an amp has narrowed quite a bit. Now what you want to do is think about your options for what type of amp. Since you are only going to be powering those two subs, it would be ideal just to get a 2 channel amp. BUT BE CAREFUL! There are some amps that don't have clip protection and it is in a lot of the lower end amps. NOT ALL so you just need to make sure it says something like "Current Overdraw and Low Impedance Protection circuits" or somethin along those lines. So lets Just say for example your woofers are 1500 rms(root means squared) each 3000 watt peak each an they run at 1 ohm. You would want to look for a amp wit good protection circutry an that is prefferably matching up the wattage. So a 2 channel 6000watt peak amp that is runnin (1500watt rms x 2 @ 1 ohm, 1200watt rms x 2 @ 2 ohm) etc. This way you arent starvin the sub or over powering it, its goin clean. After that its just all bout wirin it up good an makin sure the gain is at an appropriate level.
