how many watts will i need?

[dirtboi22]

ok, so i have 2 dual 2ohm subs(re sx 15's) 1000rms each. if i wire them in series/parallel i will get a 2ohm load. what im asking is will my subs take 1000rms each or 500 each when they are wired like this?

a 1000w amp will give each sub 500w

[zfrerichs]

1000 each sub is what you need

what amp do you have?

[dirtboi22]

audiopipe 3000. so both wired to make a 2ohm load they will take 1000rms each?

[tehbert0]

yeah you should be set

[dirtboi22]

ok so the audiopipe does about 2000 maybe a lil less at 2ohm, which is exactly what i need..

[Team_DC-Derrick]

depends, is it bridged at 2 ohms or are you running 2 ohms per channel, its rated at 3000 rms bridged at 2 ohms

[dirtboi22]

Im wiring both (dual 2ohm woofers) to be 2ohm each(parallel/series combo), so each sub is running on one ohm. i was unsure if they would take 500rms each or if they would take 1000rms. (RE SX 15 D2 1000rms) but they told me it would be 1000rms. and since the audiopipe does 3000rms bridged at 2ohm. each sub will be getting around 1500rms correct?

[Team_DC-Derrick]

yeah if your running 1 ohm per channel, its about 1500 rms on good electrical
