Car amplifier and sub?

Help with car sub and amplifier?

  • Ok so im fairly new to this stuff. Im am buying a sub with the following specs: RMS: 350W Peak 1400W Frequency Response: 23Hz – 400Hz Impedance: 4 ohms What are the minimum/recommended specs for an amp that i would need to make this sub work? Thanks

  • Answer:

    Well one important factor is whether it has 1 or 2 voice coils. Either svc (single voice coil) or dvc (dual voice coil). This is important because when you wire your sub, at 4 ohms an svc sub can be wired at 4 ohms, but a dvc sub can ONLY be wired at 2 or 8 ohms. Based on that if you have a dvc sub you would want to look for an amp that puts out around 300-500 watts rms at 2 ohms. If it is an svc sub you wanna look for an amp that puts out around 300-500 watts at 4 ohms.

well your amp has to be higher than your subs.if lower the higher chance your subs will be blown.keep it at 4 ohms .if you got a small amp your subs will work harder and it ll get blown.
