deathcards Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) the subs more likley to poof on under powering than over powering, why dont you run 3 of these vvx and run it on 1.5ohm then run 4 when you upgrade your amp, you can still buy the 4 I don't think Under powering is going to harm anything as long as it's a clean signal. If under powering was harmful then running my subs at half volume would burn them up. It's when people run an underpowered amp and use the gain knob to compensate and start clipping that you have problems. 400 to each with 4 is going to be pretty much the same as two with twice the power. Since double cone area OR double power equals twice the output in theory. I this otherwise my quantum audio would have poofed 2 years ago and right now my 1500 i am taking it easy cause i don't have the electrical to back it upedit had a mystical letter not show up ?

naughtyca Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yup, I will correct myself if I'm wrong, below is what i found when i researched it "Some people claim that too little power can blow speakers. This is absolutely WRONG. Too little power will only cause the maximum output level to be low If driving a speaker with low power would cause them to fail, speakers would fail every time you lower the volume on the head unit."
