Junior Russell Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 ok so ive looked and looked especially on here but i cant find any info on more details about when you wire subs together basically my biggest question is about the wattage i.e. how much does each get and the peak handling etc. as i already know that wiring subs together will either drop the ohms or raise the ohms http://www.youtube.c...e1?feature=mheehttp://www.stevemead...87#entry1993187 JVC KD-R530 head unit VVME INNO-D1500 sub amp Kenwood KAC-8402 amplifierPioneer 2-way 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohms DTI Audio 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohmsbox: 4.24 ft^3 tuned to 61 hertz (port walls fell off and dissapeared ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 what about the power handling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Russell Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 i mean what happens to it if anything http://www.youtube.c...e1?feature=mheehttp://www.stevemead...87#entry1993187 JVC KD-R530 head unit VVME INNO-D1500 sub amp Kenwood KAC-8402 amplifierPioneer 2-way 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohms DTI Audio 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohmsbox: 4.24 ft^3 tuned to 61 hertz (port walls fell off and dissapeared ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 peak means nothing. i could have sworn i told you this before. 2 500w woofers together is 1000w, whether it be at .5, 2, 8, or 16 ohms. speaker power handling capabilities does not change with different ohm loads. the only thing that changes is the amount of power the amp outputs.

Junior Russell Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 yeah you have and because of that info i started using peak as refering to rms because to the best of my knowledge(learned from you and a couple others as well as personal experience) if you have a 500 wrms sub and give it say 600 wrms itll blow ok so do you or anyone else know what the formula for figuring out how much rms you get at each ohm load would be if there is one? http://www.youtube.c...e1?feature=mheehttp://www.stevemead...87#entry1993187 JVC KD-R530 head unit VVME INNO-D1500 sub amp Kenwood KAC-8402 amplifierPioneer 2-way 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohms DTI Audio 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohmsbox: 4.24 ft^3 tuned to 61 hertz (port walls fell off and dissapeared ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 This is facepalm material right here. No, giving a speaker 100 watts over RMS WILL not blow it. Giving a sub ANY clipped signal is where you start to risk blowing shit. Ohm loads dont affect power handling, only what an amp puts out at that final ohm load. Example: wiring 2 Dual 4 ohm subs can equal a final load of either 4 ohms or 1 ohm. At that point you need to decide if you want to run a mono amp at 1 ohm, or a 2 channel at 4 ohms. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanSierra Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Thats pretty close logic that you're using as far as a wattage estimate. However I don't know what you're thinking as far as blowing a sub goes though with 100 watts over rating. Plenty of guys send more power to car subwoofers than that. are you planning a car system or home system? 60 or 30 Watts is silly low power. I guess with the right enclosure, you can get away with it though. Why are you wanting such a high ohm load, SQ setup? Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
