Options for subs with high power handling
A friend of mine is trying to minimize the subwoofer setup in his car. He
has a pair of Autotek sx1200 (1200W each @ 1ohm) I am wondering what offerings are available to blend with his current power setup. The JL 13W7 would work (roughly 800W per VC @ 1.5ohm) what else would you recommend. I haven't bought a sub in years, so I am kinda jumping in and seeing what I can find for him. BTW ... space is not and issue, and $ is only a small issue. TIA, Dan Snooks |

Almost forgot, check out termpro.com forums for the latest and greatest

Options for subs with high power handling
Subwoofers have no power, only amps have power. The sub is an accoustic
motor that runs on fuel called wattage. No car amp puts out it's stated power. It has a power supply which supplies the wattage as the subwoofer "asks" for it. Subwoofers don't, as a rule, blow from too many watts per channel. They blow from not enough wattage per channel. If you wan't to minimize and make things last a long time, run the woofers at four ohms or two ohms but not at one ohm. P. "Daniel Snooks" wrote in message ...

If you wan't to minimize and make things last a long time, run the woofers at four ohms or two ohms but not at one ohm. P. I don't mean to be rude, but do you have any idea what you are talking about? First ... I never suggested that subwoofers have power ... I simply showed that the 13W7 would be getting ~800W per voice coil if I ran it off of both amplifiers (one amp for each voice coil) Or did you think that the Autotek sx1200 were subs? They are the amps. Second ... there are plenty of car amps that put out the stated power, I have no clue why you would think there aren't. Third ... the subwoofer will never "ask" for power, the amplifier will boost the signal being received from the source depending on the gain. The amp will "provide" the power to the sub regardless of what the sub can actually handle. Fourth ... it is impossible to "blow" a sub (or any speaker) by not using enough power (less then the sub is rated to handle) I really, really, really hate people propagating the myth that underpowering blows speakers. Fifth ... what the heck difference does it make what impedance you run the system at, as long as the amp can handle it? Please explain your position on this. "Daniel Snooks" wrote in message ...

If you wan't to minimize and make things last a long time, run the woofers at four ohms or two ohms but not at one ohm. P. a) the impedance of the sub has nothing to do with its longevity. b) it's impossible to blow a speaker by delivering too little power. |
