Playa Named Joe Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Depends on the sub brand and type. For the most part, it should be more then fine. Quote 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fr34kout Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 You still need to correctly set the gain to use the amps full potential. The gain knob isn't a volume knob, you don't crank it all the way to the right to "use the amps full potential" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gain knob isn't a volume knob, you don't crank it all the way to the right to "use the amps full potential" I know what the gain is. and if i set it low enough, the head unit will reach full volume without the amp putting out full power right? and why do u have to criticize the sub woofers? wow man, i have cheap subs and a cheap amp. Cool? now that that's out of the way, maybe just answer the question?

Cool? now that that's out of the way, maybe just answer the question? umm... if you were talking to me then you seriously misunderstood my comment. i have no idea what amp you will be running and it doesnt matter. there are a ton of factors to your amps output, such as; recording level of the song, the fact that music is dynamic, impedance rise, "amplitude" of the bass notes, etc. im happy to get 2000-2500w out of my 3000w amp.
