white4d96 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 I have a Sony HU that supposedly has a built-in 52x4 amp. Does this really put 52 watts to each speaker or is this ? Quote Too many projects, too little time...

hoppinAltima Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 I dont think so. i have a sony HU too. and mine says 54x4 but im pretty sure it acually puts out like around 20 RMS. the 52 is peak Quote
The Performer Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 They aren't lying to you put it that way. Sony does go by cea compliant rules. However, it will say 52x4W on the H/U face of course, but read the box. Find the CEA logo and it will tell you like 15w RMS x4 at 4 ohms. So they aren't lying to you, you're just looking at the wrong place for the specs. Quote CERTIFIED BITCHES!!! Not being new at something doesn't mean anything.

white4d96 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Posted March 23, 2009 ah okay, I was just curious cuz I was considering running a 4ch amp for my cabin speakers so I could run the HPF (I have lost 2 pairs of fronts to distortion, stupid 5.25 speakers!) but didnt want to overpower my speakers. Thanks! =) Quote Too many projects, too little time...
slugdub Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 lol, wow, dammit! I swear this DEH-P3000IB from Pioneer said like 50X4 rms in the ad when I bought it but the manual says 22x4 continuous and when you find the CEA logo it does indeed say 14 watts. what crap! LOL Quote
raytard Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 yea, most are 12-14 watts, lol my one friend was soooo convinced his jensen had a 300 watt internal amp...until i showed him what a 300 watt amp looks like older panasonic screens had the little 12x4 mosfet amp as a separate box on the harness, we used it on a motorcycle install or two, its so cute! its like 2.5x2.5x1inches with two spots for harnesses to plug in, one rca/power/ground/acc and one speaker output for standard front/rear/left/right impossible to find nowadays, but it was a cool little thing to illustrate exactly what is in a headunit to supply power, and explain why a 50x4rms amp is a huge improvement over a h/u Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC

raytard Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 pioneer sells them separate http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Pro...ssories/ND-G500 never seen the eclipse ones in person, wouldnt doubt it though. its hard to fit everything needed for a flipout into a single din area, especially a few years ago Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC
slugdub Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) I think I remember those. My first HU was an alpine that I swear was hot and missing the amp lol. At least the HU powers my speakers at all, but god damn if this doesn't mean I really am underpowering my infinity setup. I need something to just boost them so they sound good and loud yet I doubt my electrical is going to handle it. I was asking here before if Pioneer does HU boosters like Alpine does.
