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.
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 you need is a Speaker Wire to RCA converter. You can find one at about any car audio store, I.E. Best Buy, or any car audio place. They can run from 25-30 but you may be able to find a budget model if you look long enough. What is does is converts the signal from your Deck to a signal the Amplifier can understand. You just connect your RCA cables to the converter and run them to your amplifier. Then connect your subwoofer to the amplifier. Quite simple process and can easily be done. Ensure your subwoofer is compatible with your amplifier as far as OHM's go or you will blow it. Just some extra G Whiz info.......
Blowing a subwoofer typically occurs when it is subjected to excessive power and low frequencies that exceed its handling capacity. Bass frequencies below 30 Hz can be particularly damaging if played at high volumes. Generally, it's essential to ensure that the amplifier's power rating matches or is below the subwoofer's RMS rating and to avoid pushing the volume to the point of distortion, which can cause damage. Properly tuning the system and using a high-pass filter can help protect the subwoofer from being blown.
They'll work, but could blow.
You can it will be safe and no damage will result. However it will blow sooner than the intended fuse would, so the amplifier will no longer have its full normal operating range.
You can certainly use any subwoofer that has its own amplifier with your surround sound system, if the only signal you send it is the sub line out from the receiver. The power rating of the subwoofer gives you a good indication of the volume balance that you can expect. If you have a 5.1 receiver that is rated at 400 watts total power, your subwoofer should have a power rating of at least half of that for itself.
So 14 grams of blow and sell it at $70 a bag. You'll net close to $1000, but then you need to factor in what you payed for the bag, that's your answer
In a sense it would, say that 1000 watt amp was a mono channel. that would mean its 1000 watts RMS @ 1-0hm, 2 RF p3 4ohm would make it 500 watts to the two. if you want full power you need a 1200 watt amp @ 1-ohm, that would make it 600 watts to the 2 and that is the RMS of those subs. you can run more but running above RMS can blow or distort the subs.
Yes, you can use a 500W subwoofer with a 1000W amp. Just be cautious not to crank up the volume too high to avoid damaging the subwoofer. Make sure to properly set the gain levels on the amp to match the subwoofer's power handling capabilities.
I own a 2001 Ford Expedition EB with Mach sound system. I found the answer to this question via another message board. The problem is a bad amplifier that powers the subwoofer. As long as the amplifier is connected the fuse will continue to blow. To fix this, I removed the cup holder by the back passenger vent window with a flathead screwdriver and disconnected the power to the amplifier(silver metal box) which solved the problem but left me with no bass. I was able to find a brand new replacement amp on eBay for $85 including shipping. Just search "expedition amplifier". The model # of the amp is located on the sticker on the bottom of the amp. To remove the amp completely, you also need to remove the snap in cover over the subwoofer (rear passenger side). This gives you access to two of the screws holding the amplifier in. You are going to need a small torque wrench with a 9/32 inch bit to remove them. The screw(s) on the other side will be a bit trickier to remove. Removing the screw on the left will require reaching through the opening left by the cup holder and removing them with the torque wrench. The shorter the torque wrench the better as it will give you more room to maneuver. Once the screws are removed the amplifier can be taken out by gently flexing back the rear panel and squeezing it through the subwoofer opening.
no, a factory CD player can be used in a vehicle that has subwoofers attached. as long as the factory CD player in the vehicle has treble, bass, and subwoofer controls on it, it will be fine. if not, an aftermarket CD player will be the solution. with subwoofers, you need to control the amount of power that are ran through them. the amplifier is a control, but if not set correctly on the CD player, you could blow your subwoofers.
Possibly, if you turn the volume up, but not necessarily. You should attempt to match impedance (your amplifier is designed to have specific speaker impedances connected, if these are not connected it will not deliver full power).
