how speakers and an amp work? i only know how an amp works internally ...dunno bout speakers (: would be a very long post...

im guessing u wanna know what speakers to run off an amp.

well what u got told isnt exactly right.

400W max or 400W rms?

rms = continous power the amp can produce to a set of speakers under the given conditinos or in the speakers case, the amount it can continiously handle.

400W max doesnt give any indication of a speaker or an amp.

those 1000W boss amps only produce 4x65WRMS.

If u have a speaker at say 50RMS rating, to power them nicely, u'd want to put 75-100RMS into them, and adjust the gains carefully...ensuring that theyre receiving nice clean power. they can go louder thus before distortion.

the way to look at it is...if u have a $400 speaker then u need a $400 amp (:

r u sure its 500RMS ? thats quite a bit..what is it?also is it SVC 4ohms? or dual voice coil or what? like i said, 500rms is at certain conditions only, ie. 12Volts at 4ohms etc.

anyway, u'll want something that can give it over 500rms, some monoblock thats decent..JL audio 500/1 cant remember price on that, i think around $800, alpine mrd-1000 around $800ish too i think.

again, if u spent that kinda money on something that can handle 500RMS then u've probably spent how much those amps r worth.

You need to know your sub impedance load (in ohm), and whether it is dual voice coil (DVC) or single voice coil (SVC), because they will give different load to the ohm. Once you know the load of the sub, then you need to find out what power can the amp output with that load, and whether the amp is stable at that load or not.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
