i just bought 2 1000 watt dual 4 ohm Rockford Fosgate Punch HX2 RFD2210 sub woofers at a local flee market for 25 dollars. here is a picture, http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/products/2001/575/h575RFD2210_DMTp.jpg . i have 2 amps. one is a 175 watt Philips amp, and it has 2 sub woofer outlets that i wired to lead to 2 high level in/outlets on the other amp. the other amp is meant to be a bass amp and it is 120 watts.i hooked up one sub to the sub amp which is wired to the other amp.
if i turned everything all the way up, is there any possible way at all to blow the sub?
it says dual 4 ohms on it. does that mean that when they are both hooked up in a parallel connection that they are 4 ohm or does it mean that they are 4 ohms by them self?
if they aren't hooked up together does that mean that they would be less wattage or more ohms? or both? or neither?
on one of the subs the dust cover is pushed it, that doesn't effect the sound quality, correct?
when amps are connected like that, is the wattage simply added together? if not then how do you figure the wattage?
the sub became pretty hot on the inside of the magnet, and it started to smell slightly like burned plastic. why is it doing that? i honestly don't think it could be from putting to much power into it, since i really don't have that much power in the first place.
i have 16, 18 and 12 gauge speaker wire. the 16 gauge is the thickest wire, follows by the 12 and the 18 gauge is the thinnest. this all confuses me because the 18 gauge is much thinner then the 16 gauge and the 12 gauge is much closer in thickness then the 18 gauge. i don't get it. how does the whole wire gauging work? is it just the copper wire or is it the copper wire and the plastic surrounding.
also, what is the difference between a home stereo amp and a car stereo amp?
could i use a car stereo amp as a home stereo amp?
these are a lot of simple and stupid questions so please dot flame, but I'd rather know now then to find out the hard way
