Watt Subwoofer
How big an amp should I use with a 1200 watt subwoofer?
I saw an amp online that had 222 watts being sold with a 1200 Watt Sub, and I don't know if the amp will have enough watts for the sub.
you want to make sure you have enough power from the amp to power the sub at rms level, but not more then peak. im guessing that 1200 is the peak, but you want to double check. under and over powering subs can ruin them. if you dont trust yourself enough crutchfield has a great support line and useful website, but i wouldn't buy from them for cost. your local bestbuy, circut city, tweeder, or any audio store can help you select an amp that powers and signals the sub correctly. sonic electronix is my personal fav for online retailers.
