sub n amp

**rudebwoy110** · 04-02-2006, 08:50 PM

ok i got a 2000watt legacy amp and a db audio 15 inch raptor 1200watt. Is this a good combination? Would i overpower and blow the sub ?

Need more info. What is the RMS on each? Is the sub 2 ohm, 4 ohm, or 8 ohm? How many channels does the amp have? Is it bridgeable? If it is what is the RMS when bridged and at what ohm? You can get all that info off the box and/or manual.

It'll work as long as you keep your gains down, so that you are not making the sub overextend. Just because you CAN blow that sub with that amp, doesn't mean you HAVE TO. You've been warned.

TUNE!

well, you had better learn fast then if you don't know what he's talking about.

what's the ohm configuration?

what are the RMS ratings (not max, rather RMS - look for the word RMS and tell us what's next to it)

...and because the brands are raptor and legacy, divide those numbers by two...lol.

Sorry friend, but I have to say you have some very low end equipment. Do not get your hopes up and expect trouble down the road. The 2000 and 1200 watts that you had stated are not actual watts. They are HIGHLY over rated. Expect a couple hundred watts, keep the gains down and do NOT use any loud button or turn the bass above 0. Yes, it will be louder if you do, but you will blow them up.

i neva knew this equipment was so crap. What about the same legacy 2000 watt amp, 2 channel 2 ohm bridgeable with that 5000 watt jbl sub ?

**rudebwoy110** · 04-03-2006, 04:29 PM

jbl sub is 800 watt rms i think

If you ever asked around anywhere on any audio forum or at any audio shop, anybody will tell you that legacy = crap (along with pyle, etc.).

If you have a 2000 watt amp that is decent and you didn't pay over 500 bucks for it, it's probably a sucky amp...you would know if you had a good amp.

What are you trying to accomplish with your system? My advice is to take out everything audio related from you car, sell it all, and start over....but this time, be sure to ask for advice before buying the amps. If you do stick with that combo, don't ever show it to anyone.
