Does 500-1000 watts really make a difference?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Me and nick aka ndstang had this convo a few times he never understood why I would put a 12k on some mayhems or DC xl's his argument was they just don't need that much power and I agree BUT I put it to him this way overhead is alllways good you can allways tune down for the subs in question then his argument was why if your not using the power anyways my reply was I have so much overhead I can build it the way I want and no matter the box rise oor voltage drop I had the power to power the subs to there full potintial

Instead of getting a 2000 watt rms sub and a 2000 rms amp having ohm rise and voltage drop and now only feeding my 2000 watt sub only 1000 watts

I do not recommend this tho only if you know what your doing and have a clear understanding of what's going onand how to set up an amp

Have you ever had your woofers blown?

lol, gotta sell em to an asian man, they're all underage.

Love my AQ20. Fucking love this amp so much. Maybe an NS1. To answer the original question, 500 watts probably wouldn't be too big of a difference. 1000 watts would.

i do like the ns-1's just heard the first batch had some problems and dont wanna be faced with those

going from my skar 1500 to saz 3500 was a HUGE leap

same subs SA-12's

ill be goin from my 1500 to a 3500 as well, but it'll be on 2 10's instead of 1 12, so i should see quite a bit of a gain.

Nice I'm going from Skar 1500 and 2 SA-12's to saz3500 and 2 Zv3 12's :)

well i like having the headroom since i know there's too many factors to really tell what's gonna happen before you actually get in there and test things out, i was going to put a 3500 on 2 10's that can handle 3k, but I've been thinkin about gettin one of Orion's 4500's, and if it does end up putting out more power than the subs can handle, that gives me room for upgrading in the future which i really like having.

Which Orion?? I thought they only have the HCCA 5k which actually only does 2500 at 1ohm RMS........is the Orion 4500 an older amp????

OHHH haha ok I got it. Yea I was like wtf...why would you get a Orion amp over the Sundown LOLZ.

You should get Orionstangs he is a good guy. Im going to him to have my stuff tuned with DD-1 and CC1. And he took my puppy in and gave him a good home. Stand up guy... You should give him your business if he doesnt sell it before you have the money.

yeah he's helped me out a lot when it comes to my stang, i'm gonna try and get the 4500 off of him when i get the money, just have a little more important things to worry about right now, so hopefully his stuff doesnt go too fast. Sounds like a good guy, a lot of the people on this site seem pretty nice...or atleast helpful. <3 Smd
