Go-N-Def Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I have a Crossfire vr 1000 and thinking of getting 1 more. They can put out 1300 each which should give me 2600 watts., But the 2000 puts close to 2400 watts. I want to know if the 200 watt difference matters. Yo dog i heard you like boxes. so i put a box inside a box so you can bass while you FAIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blownengine Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 More power is more power. 1 amp is more efficent than 2 however. 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT (Yea its got a Hemi)Alpine CDA-105KnuKonceptz 0ga CCA Big 3 with Yellow Top 15" SoundQubed HDC3DC Audio 1.2K (Bass)Pioneer 6x9's (Front)Pioneer 6.5's (Rear)Kicker 3.5's (Dash)Sony amp on the highs.

jmilch Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 More power is more power. 1 amp is more efficent than 2 however. And for this reason 1 larger amp is generally better than 2 smaller amps, if you factor in efficiency and the cost of wiring up two amps.

Autruche Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Keep in mind that you cannot attain the same nominal impedence load with one amp vs two amps. That is usually the deciding factor. If you have 2 D2 subs, then you can have 2 amps at 1 ohm loads each (strapped at 2 ohms) or one amp at .5 or 2 ohms. Or with D1 coils, it's vice versa. Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

hdorre Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 More power is more power. 1 amp is more efficent than 2 however.
