New member Username: MattstlefPost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-06 | Ok i've got a 4000W 2 channel amp that pushs 2000W max per channel and 300W RMS per channel (at .I'm looking at some Fosgate P3 10" subs that are 800W max/ 400W RMS. So heres the dilemma, to me it appears they can handle the RMS but not the Max, so are they going to hold up then blow one day when it hits real hard. Think I would blow these subs? Would it be worth trying on some cheap off name subs that are rated for 800W max/400W RMS? Think these subs might be ok with an amp that is 300W RMS and 1000W max per channel (cause I like them subs)? I'm new to this stuff so bear with me and thx for any help. |

New member Username: MattstlefPost Number: 2 Registered: Nov-06 | So your saying as long as the RMS is within range I shouldnt have to worry about the max...Ok, i'll believe that. Have any opinions on POWER ACOUSTIK PA-XSL1090 "10" INCH 2000W and POWER ACOUSTIK MOFO series? |

So; 1 Watt is half the volume of 10 Watts. 10 Watts is half the volume of 100 Watts. 100 Watts is half the volume of 1000 Watts. 1000 Watts is half the volume of 10000 Watts. And so on. Dont expect your system to be twice as loud when you upgrade from 1000 Watts to 2000 Watts. Watts is power, not volume. Volume/loudness is measured in Decibels. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel |
