Silver Member Username: Kyle_lowePost Number: 809 Registered: Apr-06 | pay no attention to the peak power handling what is the wrms rating on the subwoofers also what is the voice coil configuration of the subwoofers |

New member Username: ThevisualassasinPost Number: 3 Registered: Feb-08 | they are dual 4 ohm woofers and it doesnt say on the back of the woofer what the wrms is just peak 450 so i dont know and ive never really had a problem with the soundstorm amp and the alpine amp seems to be fine it was hooked up to a set of 10s recently and worked i dont know very much about car audio though |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids like my rhyme... Post Number: 4024 Registered: Feb-06 | if peak is 450 the RMS is probably 200ish... hook that 500 watt alpine up to both subs and forget about the soundstorm. |

Silver Member Username: Kyle_lowePost Number: 811 Registered: Apr-06 | what model subwoofers are they i just jumped on the mmats website and i would guess that you have the p2.0 which is 350 rms these are the specs i found on that amp 50x2 rms into 4ohms 100x2 rms into 2ohms 200x1 rms into 4ohms Bridged you will need a different amp if you want to properly power those subs |
