What kind of amp would I need for these speakers to run optimally?

What do I need to run 3 10" subwoofers off of 1 Amp?

  • I'm trying to put some umph in my car aduio and i've found an encolsure that has 3 ports and 3 subwoofers that i like. But the only thing i'm trying to figure out is what do i need to run 3 speakers off 1 amp. The speakers are 800W each. Do i need some kind of specal spliter or something?

  • Answer:

    Are the subs single 4 ohm if they are get a 1 channel amp that is 1 ohm stable. Now wire your subs parallel with all wires the same size and length if not you will (will) blow 1 or 2 subs. Now you should have a 1.5 ohm load. Now let's say an amp pushes 250 @ 4 ohms 500 @ 2 ohms and 1000 @ 1 ohm. This amp will push 750 @1.5 ohms. Now it is important to know what the rms power of your subs are peak power means nothing & I think your subs may be 800 peak. www.sonicelectronix.com will have an amp for your needs and they are the cheapest. I have used them twice and they are great
