rshissler Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 I'm lookin at a pair of RockFord Punch Z subs that are rated at 400 watts peak each. My amp is 1000 watts. Would they handle??? Quote
slick Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 No. Well... how many watts RMS does the amp put out? How many watts RMS can each subwoofer handle? Quote
rshissler Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report Posted March 27, 2005 the subs each are 50 - 150 watts RMS Heres the link http://www.crutchfield.com/S-iQxx55UYXFp/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=67700&I=575RFZ3812 My amp is a Nitro, 150W x 2 ch at 2Ohms, 100 x 2 ch at 4 Ohms, and 300 x 1 ch bridged. Quote
cutlass1991 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 Well that setup should work. Since the subs are 8 ohm, you're going to have to bridge the amp so you will be running them with enough power. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 I would spend a little more money on some subs with a bit more meat on them. Those have tiny magnets I don't think you'll be too happy with them (but what do I know). Anyways, it should be fine just don't have the gain on the amp set too high. Quote
rshissler Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report Posted March 27, 2005 yea i think im gonna save some a get a pair of Xsite 12" Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 save your money on the 12"s and just get some good 10s. Quote
slick Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 Save yourself the money and don't get the crappy subwoofers that you have listed above. Quote
cryptnix Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 i got some 15's for sale of xsites ... Quote
jeremy Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 Save yourself the money and don't get the crappy subwoofers that you have listed above. believe it or not, I have heard the "xsites" and they actually sound damn good....I couldn't believe it Quote

89GPSE Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 Get MMATS I dont' have a pair my self nut at every bass off I have ever been to, MMATS where the clear leader in car audio. Also you subs are 4 ohm not 8 ohm. And you get what you pay for. Don't go cheap. Quote
glock19 Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 the subs each are 50 - 150 watts RMSHeres the link http://www.crutchfield.com/S-iQxx55UYXFp/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=67700&I=575RFZ3812 My amp is a Nitro, 150W x 2 ch at 2Ohms, 100 x 2 ch at 4 Ohms, and 300 x 1 ch bridged. They are 8 ohm subs so wire the subs in parallel and bridge the amp. You will get 150W to each speaker. I would go with a single JL audio 12. It will hit pretty hard with 300 W behind it. They are DVC so get the DVC 2 ohm, wire it in series ( 4 ohms) and you are set. It will save you space due to (smaller box than 1 12's) and they are <$150 for a 12W3. Glock Quote
veritasz34 Posted April 29, 2005 Report Posted April 29, 2005 I would have to say that the best brand mentioned in this post would ondeed be the JL audio..Just tell Manville John from KY (Red Lumina Z34) sent you.... Quote
Rabbi Posted May 3, 2005 Report Posted May 3, 2005 MMATS are very good. it doesnt matter what brand you buy, if you pay 50 bucks a sub, Expect a 50 dollar subwoofer. You get what you pay for, Period. Quote
