hey all,
this is something that I have never ever really bin clarified on. Say I have 2 500 watt RMS subs and I want to get as much power to them as I can (500rms to each) do I need an amp that'll produce 1000rms? Same goes with 4 500rms subs, do I need a 2000rms amp to get the full 500rms to each sub.

yeah, I'm familiar with ohm load and wiring multipule subs together and all that good stuff. I was just never 100% sure about how much power the subs would be getting.
that accually bring me to another question, is there a way to measure how many watts an amp is cranking out with a volt meter?

i dont really know how accurate it will be because you are basicly putting out a 100%clipped signal but when i tryed it with my amp (orion 8002) it said i was putting out just over 800watts which is what its suppoed to put out . and i bet if you were to use a true rms dmm is would give you differnt results than using a non rms meter
