AP Zoutes Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 yeah that amp will work your actually underpowering them by 1/2 but it will work. Wire the subs in parallel. + to + to + of amp and - to - to - of amp will equal 2 ohm load whcih is what the amp is recommended for and it will put out 360 wrms according to manufacturer Quote
HondaCivic360 Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Posted March 17, 2007 Ok thanks but i steal don't get how u tell how much watts u need for a sub and u help me on that lol sry im a noob at this haha. The reason is because i thought that 300 rms means u need 300 watts for a amp i don't know lol Quote
sean 371 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 No 300 watts per sub equals 600 watts total. So you need an amp that can put out around 600 watts. Or you could under power them.

HondaCivic360 Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Posted March 17, 2007 *My Amp* 800W peak output @ 2 ohms 500W peak output @ 4 ohms 360W RMS (continuous) x 1 @ 2 ohms 250W RMS (continuous) x 1 @ 4 ohms Adjustable 40-240Hz low-pass crossover Balanced isolator input circuit Speaker level and RCA input Bass boost *Subs*I have 2 of these Description: Kenwood eXcelon KFC-XW1205dB 12" 4-ohm Component Subwoofer PBO advanced fiber cone • one piece rubber gasket/surround • 25-300W RMS power range • 20-600 Hz frequency response Thats the amp and the sub so your saying its under powering it idk how plz explain. How do u now how big a amp u need can someone plz explain ty. Quote
AP Zoutes Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) because the subs combined run off 600 wrms (300 ea x2) and the amp only put out 360 rms x 1 so that is 240 watts under the max rms of the subs. and max rms is generally where you want to be or a little more. Headroom is oh so nice Edited March 17, 2007 by AP Zoutes Quote
AP Zoutes Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 don't pay attention to peak output Quote

AP Zoutes Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 x2 the RF Punch 6001 would be a good match and available at Best Buy for a little less money the Alpine 707 would work as well Quote
