I'm just really scared of underpowering these subs. So, any recomendations would be nice. My Budget is $250.

TIA!

 

i ran a rockford 500a2 on it and bridged it, ran about 700 something watts to each channel...

EDIT: have those subs...They bump and sound awesome...

 

300 rms is the recomended wattage for a 1000 watt sub? thought it would be 500

how did you determine 500? rms is the recommended power for the sub to function at its best. peak is the highest amount of power it can handle, not continuosly. i dont see how you determined 500 from that though...

 

Usually you can take the peak power divide it by 1.414 and get the RMS power. But these manufacturers come up with some interesting ways to rate their products. Like wise you can take the RMS power and multiply it by 1.414 an get the peak power.

I would go with whatever the manufacturer rates the speaker at in RMS.

from my experience a sub can handle half of the continous power

my comp vrs were 400 rms 800 max, same with other subs ive owned

put it this way, if i bought that 1000watt infinity sub id feed it 500 rms thinking it could take it, didnt know it was 1.4 whatever times

i learn something new on ht every hour

 

thanks for teh reply guys, bump for more help!

 

have the 500a2 also bridged.

 

any other recomendations? bump for some great info so far!

Also, WHere can i get the rockford 500a2?
