NEED SOME CAR AUDIO HELP !!!
« on: December 27, 2003, 08:29:39 AM »
I just recently bought a 2400W Legacy AMP. and 2 15" 1000W Sony Xplods. The thing is, on my AMP manual it says

1200 Watts X 2 Output  or 2400Watts X 1. That means if i hook my 2 1000W 15 inches to it, the AMP is gona give it 1200, isnt tht gona blow it up ??????? so is there a way to give each SUB 1000 watts or 900 wattts ??

and my 2nd question is, ive heard u shud always keep the Watts of ur SUBS lower to wht it says, for EX if its a 1500W SUB the Max. power u shud be supplying it thru the AMP shud be 1200 or 1300 watts. is it true ?

it wont really matter because u are not gonna turn ya system up to the peak so it will not use up all of the power. i think that it will be about just right...Legacy are a cheap ass amp and the power rating is not as high as it says on the box..A higher quality amp actually gives u  close to the exact RMS and power...U should be fine

i never heard of legacy.... i've got 2 x rockford fosgate subs in my car running off an alpine amp + clarion headunit).

your amps should have instructions on how to wire up for the different configurations.. mine did...

That Fosgate amp should be better.  AMP's can make or brake your system.  I had a Boss one a few years ago, it was ok.  But Fosgate is better.
