imupabove Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 i just recently bought this sub used for $160, good deal or what? its 1000 rms and 2000 max, can it take more than 1000 rms (just curious)? i have a kicker 750.1 will it do?

Ndnkobra Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 It can "take" more than 1000w rms, but not for a continuous amount of time. they're good for short "burps" as they call it, but running that at 2000w for an extended period of time will shit all over the coils. That kicker amp will handle the sub just fine for daily. I'm assuming the amp is 750w @ 1 ohm, whats the impedance on the speaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skittlesRgood Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 not a bad deal. i think i sold mine for a little less but i dont really remember. they can take a little over rms. keep it under 1500w, 1200w would be good.

skittlesRgood Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) lol i take it you looked at my build log. i had mine around 1200. they got stinky some times but i was newer and listening to someone else who i believe told me "dont be afraid of a little clipping" so that should answer why it was clipping lol. but anyways, yes i think if you can keep the signal clean, 1200w should be fine. however, if you arnt very sure of yourself and your ability to design and tune a system then always go a little smaller. use that 750w amp untill you really know how to set everything up then start to look at bigger amps. dont push a sub to its limit till you know how to control it. edit - i had an autotek thank you Edited January 10, 2010 by skittlesRgood Quote If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude.

Ndnkobra Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 haha yeah i did looked at your log. would it be a good idea to do the big 3 even though i have a stock alt/battery? It NEVER hurts to install the big 3, as long as the installation is done proper. If your lights dont dim or your voltage doesnt drop then it shouldnt be a problem, but installing would be good if you ever plan on beefing up your system one day by adding another SX or something. And running your speaker at 750rms is just fine, you can wire your speaker down to 2 or 8 ohms. Here's the wiring diagram to help you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ndnkobra Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) If you still get dimming/voltage drops, then you're going to have to look into investing in a larger battery and a HO alternator. Chances are you wont have to because your amp is under 1000w. Hopefully your stock electrical system can take a toll from that 750w amp, but you'll never know until you install it.
