sYstEm eRRoR Posted September 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 no.......disregard his post. clipping happens most often when you have a 300rms amplifier and a 1000rms subwoofer and you are wondering why its not loud and keep tuning up the gain and bassboost and etc till the woofer blows then you are like "well why the hell did it blow? this amp is shit" when infact it would be your own fault since you were clipping the crap out of the amplifier. having a 1500rms amplifier on lets say the same 1000rms woofer, 99% of the time you will not blow the woofer when setting gains to around 1000rms. that 500rms of headroom (power that isnt being used) will ensure that you get clean power out of the amplifier and minimizing the chance of clipping. you can also put a 5000rms amplifier on a 500rms subwoofer as long as you tune the gains correctly (with a multimeter in this case, other times you would need an oscilloscope) then there will be no chance of blowing the woofer. it all matters on the settings. I see. So use a DMM and make sure the subs are not getting to high RMS watts. This will eliminate any problems. Do you think the saz 1000d would be a better choice? The RE Audio sex 12's are rated at 600 rms, I assumed they were a bit underrated and think the 1500d would be perfect for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 i go for it, I bet you will rise to 2 ohms. Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.
