Randerson Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 So im thinking about doing 4 Rockford p3 12's 2ohm all strapped to 2000 watts in a ported box. but do you think they would handle 3000 that would be 750 to each at 1 ohm and they are rated at 500 rms i think it will if i do it right and dont play it for hours at a time lol.

jonathancullen89 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 u can always turn down the amp, those rf subs are decent subs but dont handle much more then rated power Quote 1992 cavalier build 1992 blazer s10 kenwood cd hifonics hfi2500d 6 soon to be 12 12" hifonics hfi12d4's shit ton-o-wire Blurred Vision Audio Team SMD feedback/refs. clicky!- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randerson Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 u can always turn down the amp, those rf subs are decent subs but dont handle much more then rated power Yeah im just scared lol, I think i might just go with the t2000 cause they usually birth at more than 2k also.

jonathancullen89 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 u can put any high power amp on any sub, there is an rms chart around somewhere on this forum that tells you how to set your amps to put out however much power you want it to. i prefer doing this because i turn it down but still have my bass boost set to send clean power, clipped power will hurt subs fast!

Randerson Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I Really dont understand that. do you have a link that would explain it or could you? the clean vs clipped. probably a dumb question but im still learning it all.

jonathancullen89 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 i believe exposport has the rms chart, otherwise look in the amplifier section it might be stickied to the top Quote 1992 cavalier build 1992 blazer s10 kenwood cd hifonics hfi2500d 6 soon to be 12 12" hifonics hfi12d4's shit ton-o-wire Blurred Vision Audio Team SMD feedback/refs. clicky!- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Yeah got that and i understand it but what is clipped power and what is clean power. i just dont get it lol. Clipping is when your amplifier tries to output more power than it really can and the waveform it is producing becomes square or 'clipped' rather than nice and rounded. It makes your subs heat up really fast and causes them to blow. Clean power is... clean It's when the wave is the same as the input wave. Your subs can probably take 750wrms each as long as you don't clip it and have them in a sensible box. Under the right conditions most reasonable quality subs can take 50-100% more than RMS power.
