How do I get max power out of my amp?

2-12" kicker cvx 750 rms, 1500 max, 2000.1 class d mono amp, how much power will my subs get?

  • They are 2 ohm subs. Does my amp know if it is powering so many ohms, or is there a setting on the amp itself to output at 2 ohm, 4ohm etc.

  • Answer:

    Lol trenton the only amp tht gives the same rms at any load wud be the rockford fosgates CP's (constant power)amp ok. Other than tht mono block amps can give 2,000 rms at 1ohm, 1,000 at 2ohms and 500 at 4ohms buddy! To answer ur question kevin list the model of the amp. And if the subs are svc? If so u can wire them in parallel to get a 1ohm load. Ur amp must be stable at 1ohm . But like i said list the model of the amp so we kno its specs cuz sum amps are way to over rated.

Amps produce voltage, that's all they can do. It's the installer's responsibility to connect the subs to the correct impedance in order to achieve the desired power. For example - let's say an amp is rated for 2000w rms at 1 ohm Using ohms law you can solve for the amp's voltage -- E=sqrt(p*r) E=sqrt(2000x1) E = 44.7v That same amp connected to a 2 ohm load should give you around 1000w, and 500 at 4 ohms according to an altered version of the same equation P=E^2/R. Although that pattern doesn't always hold true because the amp's internal power supply may respond differently at varying impedances. No idea what "2000.1 class d mono amp" you're looking at. A lot of amps use a similar designation. Mbquart, Autotek, Crunch, Mmats, Precision Power and Soundigital, for example, all have a 2000.1 amp, and the actual power output at varying impedances varies pretty widely. CVX's are dual voice coils - a pair of dual voice coils gives you possible wiring options of 1/2, 2, or 8 ohms shown here: http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=22#results The most "usable" choice would be 2 ohms as there are very few 1/2 ohm stable amps, and using the 8 ohm option would reduce the output of most amps to something very low. So -- look at the rms ratings of whatever amps you're looking at. There should be a listing for 2 ohm output. Divide it by 2. That's what each sub will see. So ideally you're looking for an amp that produces around 1500w rms at 2 ohms. Anything in the 1000-1500w range should work very well.

You have 2 ohm subs, your ohm load at the end will end up lower than 1 ohm. I'm not even sure if your amp is even 1 ohm stable. There is one thing you can do an thats run that amp on to 1 sub until you get another one, same amp like the one you have now. If you have a pair of amps than you can successfully run those subs without smoking your amps.

no mater what they get 2000 watts rms becous the amp is a mono block

Try finding the specs UP YOUR OWN BUNGHOLE. You piece of T%RD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
