wssoR Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 What watt amp would i need to run a 1000watt sub,cheers Ross Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jae-Glanza Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Any amp will run it mate, However.. the higher the watt on the amp the better the quality will be. Running too low wattage will sound shit! =] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rickstar Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 minimum i say 600 watt... i've got a 1300watt mono block just for the sub.. but i've got it tuned perfect.. its not about watt really, the quality in amp and sub depending if you want quality or just bass..

Hou Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Forget max whats, what RMS is the sub. Its all about matching the RMS of the Amp to the Sub. Ideally you need to get an amp with a higher wattage so that you dont have to run the amp at full gain to get high volume. No point screwing all you can out of an amp for it to sound shit!If you don't know the difference between Max and RMS then its something you should learn about because Max means fuck all!

shaneyb Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 You also need to know what ohm the sub is to match with the amp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
