MTX J30 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) why do they say that the btl is rated 1000 watts rms. people put 4,000-5,000 watts. why do they only say 1000 watts rms, it seems like it would hurt there sales, but i guess if youre spending that much on one subwoofer you know what it an actually do. also do i ask too many questions on this site. i feel like whenever i have a car question i just come here.

Boon Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Because if an idiot that doesn't know what they're doing puts 1500w of horrible clipping to a BTL it will smoke. It's mostly Fi covering their ass I think. The 'true' power handling of any high end sub is in that group of 'If you need to ask...' questions. Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

chill phil Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 when i looked the stats of the sub it says 2000 watt rms Quote 2007 Nissan Xterra SE Amp: Sub: Box: Electrical: TL Scores: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///Alpine91 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 They can take 4000-5000 watts but idk about daily. But beefier subs like the btl's can usually go quite a bit over their RMS and take it easily. and you can never ask too many questions man, how else u gonna learn all of this stuff bro.

NoFearX18 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 i guess because if they said that they CAN take UP TO 5000rms they wouldnt sell as much i have a fully loaded one on 2200rms and it hits like a mofo... i wouldnt say a fully loaded 1 need alot of power to really wang but it guess it would definitly be better. mine definitly hits for being on 2200rms fully loaded.
