Moofs Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 I have an amp that does 70 watts at 4ohms. and 120 at 2 ohms. I plan to buy some coaxial and these JBL P662's look perfect. They are rated at 75 rms at 2 ohms though. Am I gonna blow these even with the gains set low? Thats 45 rms over the suggested. I'm getting help with the install but I don't have an O-scope to tune with, only by ear. So can I run these safety by turning the gains down? Or will these eventually blow?

Skullz Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Sonicelectronix shows them able to handle 75w rms so you should be fine on that power. EDIT: Provided you aren't going to play them really low they should be good for now, just lower your bass a bit on them. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2

EDIT: Provided you aren't going to play them really low they should be good for now, just lower your bass a bit on them. so ur saying they should take the 120 watts fine as long as I keep the bass down? I mean for door speakers I usually have the setting at zero or 1-2 for bass.

Guest Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 the gain is the determinant on how much power the amp will output.
Carroot1 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 the gain is the determinant on how much power the amp will output. so gain all the way up = MORE PAWWER!! OMG IM GUNNA DO THAT RIGHT NAOWWWW edit: sarcasm
Moofs Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Posted May 26, 2011 thanks guys. I think I'll get the JBL's. Unless u can think of a better coaxial for 100$. They see me Corollin, they haten.... build thread: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/103833-corollin-with-my-audio-build/
tonedeaf Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 Is your amp bridgeable? I'd bridge it and run them at 4 ohms.
Moofs Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Posted May 27, 2011 it is but it doesn't help my over powering problem. they will still each get 120 watts. does anyone have suggestions for other coaxials? 70 rms at 4 ohms and 120 rms at 2 ohms. 100$ budget.
