Silver Member Username: CaraudioToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 271 Registered: Sep-05 | No because when sub wants more power youd end up having the amp clipp and if severe enough you would damanage both amp and sub. Go with somthing around 800 to be shore but 600 from 1000 isnt all that bad at one point i was running a legacy 600watt 2 channel amp to 2 of my 500RMS subs didnt have a problem. |

Silver Member Username: Killer44Ontario Canada Post Number: 201 Registered: Dec-04 | so ure saying that running a 600rms amp would be fine? |

Silver Member Username: Killer44Ontario Canada Post Number: 202 Registered: Dec-04 | iwould like to get another opinion on this jsut to be sure...what does anyone else think about it...? |

You could safely run that sub on 10 watts of power if it were all matched up. Any amp will work with any amount of power it just has to be tuned properly. The more power you have the louder it gets.(3db everytime you double the power) the difference between 600 watts and 900 watts is gonna be hardly noticable. As long as you hook it up properly you will have no problems with 500 watts on a 1000 watt rms sub. |

Bronze Member Username: SecretsoundzSt. Paul, Mn USA Post Number: 37 Registered: Aug-05 | Mike D tell us youself if youre gonna correct him, I hate searching thru those huge pages. A clipped signal will create a little more motor heat than a proper sine wave because it can't cool down as well. But yeah its unrealistic to blow a sub with a clipping 75 watt signal. When the cone can't rebound from the wave smoothly (PROLONGED TIMESPAN)the sub "technically" and very "technically" is being abused...maybe even a premature blown speaker.. I mean if I heard a clipped speaker I'd say "uhh that can't be good." |

Anonymous | hey, they would do the job but i think if u want to spend cheap and power ur subs there is a boss audio amp that is 1400 watt or something like that, well that would be the best way to go and they only go for like 200 or so dollars so that would be the best thing to do. |

Silver Member Username: Killer44Ontario Canada Post Number: 205 Registered: Dec-04 | man that completely wrong you will blow a sub if u have too much power for a continuous period, maybe you jsut mixed up ur sentence but it is definitaley not better to over power your sub... |
