Posted January 11, 200916 yr does anyone know the rms of a 12" ssd with bp and fw, d1 ?would it be able to handle a hifonics 1608d amp?

January 11, 200916 yr Author thanks. from reading that i should be ok then??? just wanting to make sure. Edited January 11, 200916 yr by shift675
January 11, 200916 yr You can blow that sub, and almost any sub for that matter with that amp.If you send too much power to the sub, you will kill it. Period.Until you have your box completed, nobody here can tell you how much power your alignment will handle. And even if you build a box that has the mechanical power handling for that amp, you can still fry the sub thermally.
January 12, 200916 yr Author alright thanks earth man. as for the others im getting a ported box tuned at 33hz and its abt 2.1 cu ft i think not positive. can someone confirm because im getting mixed reviews?
January 13, 200916 yr As long as you don't clip or distort the subs sound in any way, it will be just fine.If it sound good, than likely, its not doing either of those things. Don't worry!
January 13, 200916 yr Do you already have that amp? Also, you can blow the sub without clipping the signal. Too much power is too much power, plain and simple.
January 13, 200916 yr HOW is that amp too much? Bp adds at least 200, so his sub can handle at least 1000. the amp is rated at 1100, but DOES NOT do rated power. i dont get it... Edited January 13, 200916 yr by casedawg350
January 13, 200916 yr I misread his topic. I assumed it was a D2 and he was going to run it at 1 ohm. EDIT: I'm an idiot. Edited January 13, 200916 yr by abxx
January 13, 200916 yr Author so then what your saying is it will work abxx? as long as i keep the gain low it should all work out???
January 13, 200916 yr If unsure I am always a fan of conservative settings. Get to know things for a little bit and then increase to a linear limit of the amp/sub/box combo if it seems like it will permit it.All to often people tend to max things out before a real break in and then dont know that things have changed both mechanically and electrically (the impedance rise of the driver will change) and what seemed good before is now erring on the side of a problem.Thanks,Scott
January 13, 200916 yr Author alright thanks. does anyone know a good place to place an amp in an 04 silverado ext cab?
