Question

I want to ADJUST on my gain using AUDIO CALC in trying to find out the RMS of my sub and my amp so i can see wich one is the match in the chart of the AUDIO CALC. if anybody can help me it would be cool. dont know too much about systems.if any one knows about AUDIO CALC LET ME KNOW SO YOU CAN GIVE ME THE RUN DOWN ON HOW TO DO THINGS!!!!my sub and amp dont show the RMS so if any could just tell me it would be cool

Answer 1

Your sub is rated for 300 watts RMS, but it can ONLY be wired for 8 ohms or 2 ohms since it's a dual 4-ohm voice coil type. Your amp is rated for 380 watts RMS bridged, BUT it cannot be wired to a 2-ohm load while bridged, and there is no rating for 8-ohms bridged. I would expect it to be able to put out around 200-250 watts RMS while bridged to 8 ohms. IMO this would be the best way to use these two products together.

Alternately, it can put out 125 watts RMS to two channels at 4 ohms; you could hook up one voice coil to each channel for a total of 250 watts RMS going to the sub, but you'd run the risk of sending different signals to each voice coil, which could cancel some of the output.

Answer 2

ur subs are 300rms each and amp is 280rms bridged
