RCP Audio Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 The RMS of the sub, should be the same as the amp if not higher amps are rated by the amount of power that they can put out (500w rms at x ohms) subs are rated by the amount of power they can take from the amp, So you have to make sure two things, 1) that the final ohm load calculates to what you need it to (there are good diagrams online/on here) 2) that your subs are rated to handle the amount of power that your amp is going to be putting out Quote PSN: Rcp_soundz Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps. The higher the more amperage it pulls, this is what I look at. I'll stick a 300 amp fuse in a potato and sell it to you for $2k. 1991 Mazda 323VERY small build thread here: http://www.stevemead...23-small-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
