KillerKeller40 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I know the point of doing it is to push the sub and get more of it. But when do you stop? 250 over rated 1000 over rated double the rms? How do you know we're to draw the line. For example I have a massive hippo 15 it's 2k rms. I'm planning on getting a twisted sounds 2.8k and they do an easy 3,500 rms at 1ohm. So do I give it all I can aslong as it clean power. I know it will cause it to need to be reconed after a while.

Triticum Agricolam Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 There is no simple answer. The box type and specs, music being played, and specs of the sub (other than RMS rating) are all going to effect how much power you can run. Just because a amp puts out 1000 watts into 1 ohm doesn't mean your sub will ever actually see that much power. My opinion is as long as mechanical excursion isn't the limiting factor most subs can be put on an amp that is rated for 50 - 100% more power than the sub is assuming fairly standard music will be played. In all cases, setting your amp properly and being attentive when playing your system will go a long way towards not damaging your equipment.

KillerKeller40 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Well the box I have is a 4.75cuft ported box tuned to 32hz. The sub is a very beefy well made sub and the specs of the TS 2.8k at 1ohm is an easy 3,500rms. And the subs on rated 2k. So even with box rise and everything the sub still will see 2750-3000 at 14.4v. So I guess I'll just play with it and make sure no matter what it's getting clean power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillerKeller40 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 There many dyno videos and like most amps TS sends a test page of what they got on that amp at what voltage. And yes the amp is rated 2.8k on your typical 12.8-13.3 electrical system but like I said at 14.4v it will do easy 3500 @ 1ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 The point you are missing here is that the number it does on the dyno vs. What you'll see power wise from it in your vehicle while playing music are two very different things. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

DLHgn Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Even if it did 3500 @ 1 ohm, you would probably only see no more than 2000 and that's assuming it's putting out full power. You can put whatever power to your subs you want you just have to be careful and pay attention to what's going on with your system otherwise you'll be spending a lot of money on recones. Now, i'm not suggesting put 20K to a 2K sub but ya know...do what you want to do. In the end it's your equipment not mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocking.that.eclipse Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Box rise my friend. I would assume you are seeing way less than 2000 watts personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLHgn Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Box rise my friend. I would assume you are seeing way less than 2000 watts personally. I was trying to be a little optimistic lol If he rose to 2 omh he would be seeing considerably less than 2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RMS wattage will be even less (since most music isn't constant sine wave tones). The point is, you should be fine on that power, just pay attention to how your sub is doing.
