hdorre Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 If it was from a monoblock, it's total power from that amp (both subs) Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedball1978 Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 then explain to me how is it possible this amp ( which is a monoblock) putting out 647 watts and bang the shit out of his kickers cvx's with little power??? its a 2200 watt rms rated at 1 ohm... why is it not putting out like 1500 which is what the subs are rated at rms together.. i'm so damn confused....

speedball1978 Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 i just don't quite understand how 647 watts can sound really good compared to my 1300 or so watts...it seems as if he could turn the damn thing up even more and bang em harder and louder..
