Vangel Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 So i ordered a 12" street duty aq sub and it says 600 rms(continuous power). So ive been looking at mono amps that say 600rms, now, do i look at the power for 4ohms, 2ohms, or 1ohm or what? If anyone can help thatd be great.

Watch the bass Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 So i ordered a 12" street duty aq sub and it says 600 rms(continuous power).

Vangel Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I havent got the sub yet, its on it way, i ordered it about a week ago. this is what aq says about it though: These subs were designed to hit hard, sound great and last a long time. The 2.5″ DUAL voice coil diameter is big enough to handle the long-term power while light enough in mass to yield high output. The coil is coupled to a strong multi-fiber cone that is reinforced with an epoxy resin dust cap. The EROM, high roll surround is efficient in both excursion and cone area. The suspension follows our philosophy of multiple, high compliance spider layers for tight bass with low fatigue over the long haul. The lead wires are formed into these spider layers which further enhances durability and eliminates lead slap/breakage problems. The frame is cast aluminum with a sandblasted, powder coat finish. The motor parts are all machined with a black epoxy finish to aid in heat transfer. The tight tolerances of the SD2.5 motor provides high energy without excess weight. These subs use the finest parts that can be found, are hand assembled to maintain the tightest tolerances and made especially for you. Everything about the SDC2.5 subs is dedicated to delivering the pounding bass you need. The SDC2.5 series fills the void between the SDC2 series and the HDC3 super woofer. It is the perfect choice for raising the bar in power levels to get that extra bass but still be in the 500-600 watts power range. It doesnt exactly say what its made of though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrosetiger Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 then its a 2.5" DVC sub it all depends on how you wire the sub (I wouldn't go any lower then 2 ohm) Quote 1998 Plymouth Voyager (daily) Jensen VM9213 H.U.

IH8PunkRok Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) i personally always look for one that can do power at 1 ohm. less strain on electrical and no audible difference in quality HOWEVER you do need to know what ohm the coils are. that limits your choices you cant make a decision until you know that Edited March 19, 2010 by IH8PunkRok Quote -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
