(1 number) and if u have the gains set correctly, just be careful with the volume... and if the gains are set imporperly, then ur gonna blow ur subs for sure. what amps and subs are you using? |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 3828 Registered: Aug-04 | It's 500 - 900 watts depending on the load. At 4 ohms it's 500 wrms. At 2 ohms it's 900 wrms. |

New member Username: Andrew571Post Number: 6 Registered: Oct-05 | Well, the stuff is on its way. I was just having second thoughts for the best amp for my 12" sub... |

Bronze Member Username: DementedvisionsCedartown, GA Post Number: 19 Registered: Oct-05 | ahh I think since the amp only pushes about 500 watts really any sub can handle that just make sure you have the gain not to high |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 1014 Registered: Sep-04 | RMS Power: 500W x 1 @ 4 ohms RMS Power: 900W x 1 @ 2 ohms RMS Power: 900W x 1 at 1 ohms RMS Power: 900W x 2 at 4 ohms (Dual Mono Drive) thats the specs on the link u put up... that makes no sense at all lol... but if it puts out 500w rms at 4 ohm then u need to either have a 4 ohm SVC sub or a dual 2 ohm sub. you need to have it wired to 4 ohms. |
