i have a 500watt rms sub ...what amp wattage would work the best?

sparkz

An amp that can do 500 watt rms would do. Something like a JL 500/1

-chEeZe-

how about 600rms amps with 4 ch...and im only hook up 3 oponents..
the sub@500rms n 2 speakers@35rms each
would that styl work?

or not enough power for the sub?

English, we speak english here...

are you looking for a 4 channel amp and a sub amp?

I'm assuming you want the sub amp to push 500watts RMS, why the 600watts for the components?

What's with the " and im only hooking up 3 oponents.." and the " n 2 speakers@35rms each" ?

I would start again with the make and models of your speakers.. and we'll give the best advice we can.

I'd say look for a Concept CC-D800, it'll give off 800RMS easily, won't burden your electrical system because it's a Class D amp, and you can get one off ebay for under 250... Trust me thay are not avg., or decent amps, these amps kick ass....seriously!!

see..im a noobie at this..
so i can't use 4 ch amp for subs?
i cant put 2 speakers @70watt rms and a sub @500watt rms on a 600watt rms 4 ch amp?
would it styl work proper
or i need diferent amp for subs n speaker?

I think what you are asking is can you power your front set of speakers and a sub from a 4 channel amp. Using the front channels for the front speakers and bridging the back channel for the sub. Does that sound right?

If so, you can do that. Although I have not heard of a 4 channel amp that will do 70 x 2 and 500 x 1. What brand and model amp are you referring to?

rockford fosgate 1200watt
its doesnt do 70x2 and 500x1 but thats what im wondering if it styll work...
or i should get 500/1 rockford amp for the sub and 75 x 2 rockamp for speakers?...

In order to come close to what you want in a 4 channel is get one that does around 4 x 100. Then it would do 2 x 100 and 400 x 1 maybe. But, it would be better to get the two amps you suggested.

alrite...thanks alot
i think im gettin this now...
i juss dont want to buy the wrong amps for my speakers..
this is exaclty what im gettin

rockford punch 12" 2x1000watt peak@ 500rms p3 subs
and pioneer 6.5" 4x180 watt peak @ 35rms

so what do u suggest?

I strongly suggest getting a 5 channel amp... They will have two channels for the front, two channels for the rear and one channel ftor the sub. The sub channel will give out a higher bass then most four channel amps. Four channel amps typically don't go higher then 200watts per channel simply because most component speakers will not go that high.. Many subs can handle over 200watts, so most people won't power their sub with a four channel amp they will use a 4 channel amp for the four component speakers and then get a seperate amp for the sub, typically a 2 channel amp bridged.. getting a 5 channel amp would allow you to power all the speakers with one amp.
