wildcatlove Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 If you have to ask.. haha like how much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeje Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Like I said. If you don't know much about the equipment don't put it past rated. You need good clean unclipped power and a solid electrical.

kickass audio Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Unless you have the right tools and knowledge of where to set everything and have no distortion or exceed the freq limit of your sub/enclosure then i wouldnt do it. Stick with the rated power and be safe or you will smoke your stuff. There are tons of guys on here who exceed the rms power of their speakers (me included) but you need to know things such as impedance rise, where to set the xovers on your equipment, if there is any distortion at all in any part of the system, thermal limits of your equipment, etc. You cant just throw a 3000w rms amp at a 750w rms sub without knowing how you can do it and everything like that.
