That1Kid Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Just going through AudioSavings.com for a sub/amp combo and i noticed one main thing, all the amps are under powered to the subwoofer. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? Like their $126.95 Kenwood sub and amp combo, the subs are rated for 200RMS and 800Max, yet the amp is only 150 bridged @ 4 OHMS per channel, but when you get up to the higher end subs like the 449.95 Apline package, you get 2 subs rated 300-600watts RMS with a peak of 2000Watts and the amp is 500 watts per channel, so it doesn't power it for the subs peak, but handles it for constant. Is this a ploy to get you to buy more subs? or is it for versatility if you just CHANGE subs on your own will (amp at diff OHMS is higher watts to allow different subs)? Also, if a subs RMS is supposed to be 1/2 of it's peak, why do some brands say that their RMS is (in some cases) 1000+ watts lower than it's peak? Will it EVER be able to reach it's max without blowing? This is why they have packages like this, so when people like YOU try to put the sub "PEAK" power as you say, you can't come back and bitch when the sub is blown. Although I'm pretty sure judging by the way you are so focused on "PEAK" power you will find a way to blow them anyway. No, i focus on the RMS since that's the actual amount of power that the AMP puts out and the Sub can take. Max is meant for extreme lows every once in a while, not constant. I DO know the difference lol. I'm a noob, not a boob. I lol'd at the last response. Thank you, sir.

letemrip32 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 If users are comfortable, can anyone viewing this topic, post what you bought from there, basically telling how they put their system together. I have purchased quite a bit from AudioSavings mostly accessories here and there. I am not one for buying packaged deals as I am an equipment matching whore so I usually match my entire system to one brand or limit myself to specific brands that suite my needs. If I were you I would sit down and calculate a number that will be the max you can justifiably spend on a new system and then I would slowly piece it together by buying items bit by bit. Going balls deep into a new system but saying you have an extremely tight budget should not be in the same sentence. I suggest you figure out what you really need and go from there that would be the best route. Well that was basically just me asking to have users post what they bought and how they ran their purchases from that site in their car (i.e. different lengths of wires and cables routing to what amps controlling what components mounted where)It sounds more or less just like a build log, but i just think it'd be interesting what all everyone buys from there, not necessarily to give me an idea (i already have an idea of things i'm going to buy) but that advice is used widely across the board, and is very excellent advice, little by little till you get the outcome you truly want, whether it's for casual use or spl drags, or even both.

letemrip32 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 So why is this in the member builds section? to see what members used from this site to build their system...hence a build topic in the build section. Ok...i'll give you some credit to this tho, it didn't start out as that, but it's what it turned into because after hearing the first few posts i was kinda intrigued to see what people actually buy from there and where they run it. i'm not on here to start bad blood (even some ppl are being jerks about it), kinda like a supply build log. Maybe people can update this when they buy something new from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
