Bronze Member Username: Kai2780Post Number: 22 Registered: Oct-06 | After reviewing the comp8 specs at the following link: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=2932 i picked the ddss1 600wx1 @ 1ohm as the amplifier to power the two comp8 4 ohm svc subs rated @ 350w rms posted on the website. After looking for a US dealer. i came across the actual crystal comp website. After reviewing the sub at this link: http://www.crystalmobilesound.com/subwoofers.htm i noticed a 400w rms rating there but, on the spec sheet it gives a 300w peak power rating. http://www.crystalmobilesound.com/literature/CMP%208%20Spec%20sheet.pdf the sub can be used full range or as a sub. i intend to us it as a sub. so, i called crystal comp for some clarification on the ratings. the explanation i got was; as a full range the speaker can operate @ 400w rms but, as a sub it is rated for 150w rms. now i know it is a small sub so i asked if i could still use the 600wx1 amp on it without damaging the sub or the amp using them as subs (300w rms for the pair as per the reps explanation). i was told yes. this is the question i pose. is it wise to still use that amp or just plain stupid? i really like how compact the amp is and it suits the under the rear seat in a wooden, cooled amp rack setup or any other hidden setup i can come up with. these woofers in baffles and a set of 5 1/4 components ( have not chosen them yet) up front are going to be the only speakers in the car. |
