Ok, heres what I have: All Memphis.
Class AB Power Reference Amplifer 16-PR2.50 50w RMS x 2 @ 4ohms or 70w RMS x 2 @ 2ohms
2 Power Reference Subwoofers 15-PR10D4 250w RMS
They are in a ported enclosure and ran using the stock head unit.
Heres my question,
A guy at the place I got my system done told me my amp was rated at 500watts RMS but would do 600. According to Memphis, my amp is only rated at 50 watts per channel with two channels. My subwoofers are rated at 250w RMS each. So doesn't that mean each is underpowered by 200watts? If so, then WTF!
Now don't get me wrong, my subs sound NICE. But i don't understand this whole sub and amp deal. The reason why I'm worried at all, is because I was considering getting two 12's and using the same amp.
The subs I want to get have the same power rating as the two 10"s I have. But I just realized my amp wasn't what I thought it was so I'm completely confused now. Any help/explanation would be great.
Thanks everybody.
