mattc3366 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 Depends. Im gonna take a wild guess and say yes they can and will blow. Alot of factors take place in answering your question. What subs, tuning the amp, etc... subwoofers - two eclipse 88120s box - 3.4 cubes tuned to 32 hz amps - aq1200 and pheonix gold zx450 New build : 2 obsidian audio 15s same amp 6.1 cubic foot box tuned to 32 hz in a civic hatch

mattc3366 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 Take your subs out of the box and check the model number and google the model of your amp and post your findings back here and i'll help you out. Chances are if that amp is a true 4000 watt amp your subs won't take it. Im assuming that's max power not rms subwoofers - two eclipse 88120s box - 3.4 cubes tuned to 32 hz amps - aq1200 and pheonix gold zx450 New build : 2 obsidian audio 15s same amp 6.1 cubic foot box tuned to 32 hz in a civic hatch
Johny B Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 If you can, take a pic of the amp, the fuses on the amp and the subs. If you take them out of the box they might have some info in the back Edit: Matt beat me to it lol 06 Chrysler 300 Pioneer avh-x8500bhs Hertz Hsk 130.4 Alpine mrp-F600 2 Dc level 4 12s Dc 2k Viper 5901 SHCA wiring KnuKonceptz RCA's SecondSkin/Fatmat Big 3-stock alt

mattc3366 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 Alright. But its not that your boy would screw you it's that amps have "false" advertising. My girls little bro bought a "1000"watt amp. In the book it says it does 35 rms a channel. Not 500. And do what johny said and count up the fuses on the amp. subwoofers - two eclipse 88120s box - 3.4 cubes tuned to 32 hz amps - aq1200 and pheonix gold zx450 New build : 2 obsidian audio 15s same amp 6.1 cubic foot box tuned to 32 hz in a civic hatch

mattc3366 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 Alright. Now check for fuses on the amp and add up the numbers you getting from that. And im guessing by having two inputs on it like that it probably puts out some decent power. More than enough to smoke those subs subwoofers - two eclipse 88120s box - 3.4 cubes tuned to 32 hz amps - aq1200 and pheonix gold zx450 New build : 2 obsidian audio 15s same amp 6.1 cubic foot box tuned to 32 hz in a civic hatch
