watt rating of a speaker is max power it can handle without getting damaged. it will produce proportionate amount of sound for less power from amp., even for 1 watt.


The power output ratings for most amplifiers are very misleading. That number,i.e.,1000 watt , is under one certain type of condition for 1 second. Usually the frequency of 1khz for 1 second. The true output under actual operating conditions 20hz-20Khz is probably closer to 100 actual watts of music power or sound reproduction power. The same with the speaker rating,,,the power rated is at the same conditions Max power @ certain frequency @ certain amount of time.

Safest bet,,,,,always use a larger rated speaker for an amplifier. If you have a 200 watt amp,,,use a speaker rated a minimum of 200 watts,,,,400 is better.

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.


Will a 1200 watt amplifier blow out a 1000 watt subwoofer?

Technically, yes. Practically, no. Amplifiers and speakers are rated by the maximum amount of power (and at what impedance) they can handle. A 1200 watt amplifier will eventually destroy a 1000 watt speaker if it is operated at maximum power. In normal use, however, you rarely even get close to maximum rating.


Which car subwoofer has the most features for a decent price?

What power of amplifier will you need to for 1000 watt subwoofers?

Find out what the rms is for that sub woofer,if it'1000 then find out what the max is,then you could go between the rms power and the max power to get the right amount of watts.


What size amplifier will power 3 JL audio 8w7's?

1000 watts rms should be plenty


Will 300 watt kicker amp push two tens?

It depends on the specific power-handling capabilities of the subwoofers and their impedance. If the subwoofers have a total power handling capacity that is lower than 300 watts and the amplifier can provide enough power at the required impedance, then it should be able to adequately power the two tens. However, if the subwoofers have a higher power handling capacity or the amplifier cannot provide enough power, it may not be sufficient.


If you have a subwoofer and amplifier with 1000 watt rms and 3000 watt peak power what kind of wiring kit do you need and where can you find one?

i'm guessing this is for a car stereo, i would recommend u check out www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/ or just .com and look near the top for support......they have many wiring options for u to choose from

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. . .
