1000 watt car amplifiers

My friend sold me the subs and he said all I needed was a 1000 watt amp. Would this amp work for the subs?

You should get an amp with at least 2000 watts rms..

I just recieved a 1000 watt cummings 4 channel amplifier for my car, number 5263. Anyhow I have been trying to do research on this amp and I can't find anything. The woman who gave me the amp claims its only 6 months old. I can find anything online about the cummings brand amplifiers. I was trying to find a price on it, because I got this amp as partial trade for selling my car. Any info would be great! Thank you!

Maybe they do exist, but I've been around car audio for a long time, & I haven't heard of it, but w/ that said try some websites for car audio, if not, it maybe used to exist.

I HAVE A HOLE SOUND SYSTEM FOR MY CAR AND I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF I CAN POWER THE MAX AMOUNT OF WATTAGE WHICH IS 2,120 WATTS ON TWO 1000 WATT AMPLIFIERS?
MY SUBWOFFERS MAX WATTAGE IS 1,400 WATTS AND MY SPEAKERS MAX WATTAGE 720 WATTS.

Naw man, I wouldn't suggest using the max output of your amps to power that much wattage, especially with the bass and all. I had an amp catch fire while I was driving, scary as heck.

i have bought a poineer amplifier that has a 1600 watt max output. its a 2 channel so im thinking it could be hooked up to 2 1000 watt poineer subwoofers without a problem. is there anything else i would need to know when hooking them up or could anyone tell me if i should return them and what the proper setup would be?

Ok, here's a couple of questions for you first. Are you powering ONLY the subs with your amp or, are you going to be powering other speakers also ?

Assuming that your objective is to power only your two subs, your best option would be to BRIDGE your amp to MONO ( I'll explain later ) and use another amp ( two channel ofr four channel ) to power your other speakers for the best "balance" of power.

First thing, install your amp where you want it and run sufficient guage wire ( at LEAST 10 or 8 guage wire, POSITIVE and GROUND, directly to your battery ) DO NOT SKIMP HERE, the better your power and ground is the more power your amp will have when it needs it for those bass hits. Also, use a GOOD inline fuse with sufficient rating for your amp ( available at any worthwhile mobile audio supply shop ). Next, unless your amp has a built-in crossover, get one and install it. ( Good location, good wiring are all that's important to note here and now. This is a "set and forget" device that filters unwanted signals from your receiver to your amp and subs, so your not wasting power to play mid-range and high-frequency signals through your subs which will also cause distortion. ) If your amp has a "REMOTE" terminal, wire this terminal to your receiver's "REMOTE" wire. Usually a blue wire, sometimes marked with a tag as: "REMOTE", "PWR ANT" or "ANT". If your car has a power antenna already hooked up to this wire, splice into it. All this is is a 12v. signal to turn on something when your receiver is turned on. Now, since your amp is wired to the battery, it will turn on and off with your receiver's POWER button.

Now, wire your subs. GOOD quality ( like MonsterCable ) speaker cable from the POSITIVE of one sub to the POSITIVE of the other, the same with the negative of each sub. This is called wiring your subs "in Parallel". Next, run your speaker cable from either sub to your amp. Connect the POSITIVE side of th ecable to the RIGHT / POSITIVE terminal of your amp, Connect the NEGATIVE side of the cable to the LEFT / NEGATIVE terminal of your amp ( the Right / Negative and Left / Positive terminals on your amp will have NO connections ). Your amp is now BRIDGED to MONO and each of your subs will now see 800 watts MAX. at the same time. If you had wired your subs in STEREO ( instead of MONO ) your subs would work independently depending on which channel a given bass note was mixed to during recording. Amps are usually rated at a certain Ohm rating also. Your amp may be rated 1600 watts @ 2 Ohms. If you wired your subs in STEREO your amp would see 4 Ohms and your available power would be less ( maybe 400 watts per channel / RMS or 1000 watts MAX ). At 2 Ohms however ( wired as I have explained, your amp would see 2 Ohms ) your amp would deliver say, 650 watts / RMS or 1600 watts MAX and each of your subs would see half of that during play ).

Now the crossover, If you are using a two-channel crossover for your subs, you will wire your receiver's speaker outs to the corresponding L and R inputs of your crossover. The same with the connections from your crossover to your amp input terminals. Now, your receiver is sending all played signals to your crossover and, you have to "filter" the unwanted signals out before they get to your amp. "High Pass" should be turned all the way back. You don't want ANY High Freq. signals going to your amp. "Low Pass" should be turned to say, 100 Hz or so ( this can be fine-tuned to suit your tastes later but, this is a good starting point ). Now, no signals over 100 Hz ( such as mid range and treble ) will be sent to your amp and subs.

Hope I didn't leave anything out. Contact me if you need more info and I'll try to help you through it. -- Good luck !
