falcons03079313 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 i have a memphis mojo 15-cm15d4 and i am powering it with a rockford fosgate t1500-1bdCP. i am overpowering the amp and the sub by about 250 watts. this makes the sub and amp a little warm but not anything terrible. now how much would i be able to throw at it if say, i got another t1500-1bdCP? im thinking the only reason the sub is getting hot now is because the amp is getting hot. think i'd be able to throw 2.5k at it?

TeejayBee Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 how do you over power your amp with your sub ? and if your worried about over powering your sub with the amp you have now why would you add a second 1500, which would equal 3k not 2.5k yes maybe after box raise and depending on voice coil impedance i may be wrong but without full information isnt much i can help with Quote
falcons03079313 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Posted September 9, 2011 im overpowering my amp now to 2k watts. and i figure if i get another t1500-1bdCP i can run them both at 1250 rms and put out a 100% clean signal, making everything run cooler and having more power, then i would do that. just asking for a secon opinion Quote
OrionStang Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 You mean you are clipping your amp. Not overpowering it. LMFAO. You should just stop typing now and do some reading. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
TeejayBee Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Dont be an asshole orion i havnt been one yet, but You arnt over powering your amp your clipping it which is one bad for your sub and amp, Now let me ask how did you set your gains on the amp? Quote
falcons03079313 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Posted September 9, 2011 dmm. and the amp doesnt even get hot so im not clipping lol. maybe a tiny tiny bit but nothing to wear it can fry. ive had this set up for about 7 months now and havent had a problem. ive listened to it for 2 and a half hours straight at one point and it doesnt get anything other than warm.

TeejayBee Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Your first post you say it gets warm,, and if your having no problem then what are you asking? your contradicting yourself now Quote

falcons03079313 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Posted September 9, 2011 im asking will i be able to run 2.5k to my sub instead of just 2k if i get another amp, and run them at a lower rms. this would make the signal clean with no clipping, keeping everything cool. basically do you think my sub can handle 2.5k Quote
TeejayBee Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 I dont know anything about the sub but why not get another sub and amp to have double the cone area to be louder and not worry about blowing the sub from over powering ? seems more ideal Quote
