Underpowering sub by 450rms...
I was wondering if underpowering by 400rms is too much.
I currently have a fosgate mono amp putting 200rms and i want to purchase a AUDIOBAHN AW1000N 10" 1200W DVC. It will be runnign at 2ohms. If i underpower this much would it sound worst than if I purchased a sub that had a much lower RMS? I read about VC heating up due to gains being set too high. I will adjust my gains accordingly, my main concern is if the sub would sound better if i bought a lower RMS sub. My reason for buying a high RMS sub is because i want room for upgrade and it was the same price as the lower RMS(400rms) sub as well. Thanks |
Any 2ohm sub load will work with your amp....the key for now is getting a fairly efficient driver or drivers to make the most of the power you have....:smokin:
There's a reason that "1200w" sub is the same price.....I would suggest you get a better quality driver to start out with. If you are planning on upgrading down the road and you have a decent 200w mono amp, you will probably have better luck selling it with a matching sub. Then you can use the money to get a more robust sub and amp, once again matching them up power and quality-wise......:smilie_da HTH |
