1 amp powering 4 subs???


Recommended Posts

I have a dilema...my education on matchin up mutliple speakers to a amp is limited... My question is if the rms of each speaker is 400watts and 800 peak my thinking is that a total rms for all 4 subs would be 1600watts rms and 3200 max... so with that theory to power all 4 with one amp i would want to find an amp thats close without going over those numbers...or should i go with 2 amps and do it in pairs?

Yes, the total rms is 400watts*4 speakers..so 1600wrms.

You can go over those numbers. Some people play 2x those numbers. I'll be going over the rms of my speakers. Your amp won't output a true 1600watts rms though because if voltage drop, impedance rise, etc.

You could get 2 amps too. I would strap them though.

I wouldn't strap if it was me, but your voicecoil configurations are what is really going to give you your wiring options

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
