Audio question?

If i had subs with a max power of 750w's can i use a bigger amp, say 1000w?

You can turn the output level down and it will work

amps say obnoxious things like that on them, especially cheap ones, but thats peak power, not RMS power. if its 1000w peak, its probably ~450-600 RMS.

what are you trying to set up?

[Capt. Crunch]

well im buying sams subs and need a amp to go along with them. they have 750 max power but while looking for amps i thought that it wouldn't make sense to buy a low powered amp. So i would buy a bigger amp to have the option of upgrading in the future with out buying a new amp.

[XJLI]

so, thats 750W peak power each, meaning 1500W peak max total power. depending on the type of box you build/buy, and the type of bass you want, you dont need more than that.. ever.. unless youre trying to be loud and obnoxious. LA makes some good stuff, so they dont need to be pushed very hard to make good bass. even if youre getting a bandpass box to make it as loud as humanly possibly, an amp that drives 500x2 RMS is more than enough.

k thanks

Just don't be that guy, the one who's subs are lubriciously loud with out touching the mids or highs. They are the same ones who have it obnoxiously loud in traffic pissing everyone around them off.

[Capt. Crunch]

so what size amp do you guys recommend?

[XJLI]

[Capt. Crunch]

well im not looking to spend much, prob going to look for used ones and off amazon. but just kinda want to know what size. Im looking for something to go boom when i want it to but i dont want to sound like an asshole every time i listen to a hip hop track.

[XJLI]
