Mattintc Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 ok im getting a headach beyond reason normaly im not so confused but say i need to tune a amplifier for a sub thats 1600 watts max and i need to tune my amp to push out that 1600 watts or less. What is the equation to get volts for 1600 watts so i can get the readout on my volt meter to tune my amp so i dont kill the sub cause im extremly confused and i have no idea what the amps are either in house subwoofer system FTW but nothing special 1 12 inch lanzar vibe 1600 watts subwoofer box tuned to 36hz no amplifier ATM 1 350 watt antec power supply 1 300 watt antec power supply 2 other brand 300 watt power supply four in total all four gauge to the soon to be amplifier Bus bars 1 simple bass boost Videos at www.youtube.com/walkingfreak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 well say you want 800rms going into the sub.. you take the rms and times it by the ohm load and then take the square root of that.. i believe and that al tell you what voltage to set it 2. this, end thread. example, 800w * 2ohms = 1600. square root of 1600 is 40. so 40vAC (NOT DC) is gonna come out of the speaker terminals. edit: literally 99% of car audio requires math, so you better be good at it haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
