Amplifiers Amplifiers do not magically create power. They simply convert existing power from your car's electrical system (amperage and voltage) to amplify a source feed (usually RCA or Line Level input). Just because your amplifier says it puts out "1000w RMS" doesn't always mean that your electrical system will put out enough power to actually achieve this rated power. In fact, 9 times out of 10, it won't. Even if your electrical system will support the amplifier's needs, it isn't constantly putting o…

I wanted to ask this question because I understand about them through extensive physics classes, but I wanted to ask on a clearer run down on how to deal with them in the car audio world say for example a normal SQL for the everyday street beater and then the SQ competitor and then wackos like me who are building massive boxes to stupid loud numbers (I understand the flow and movement of the air as controlled by the box designer, in my box case dave edwards is the genious behind it, but I wanted to start this for all members)
