Can i hook up two kicker 750.1 amps up to a Power Akoustic m**o 12"?

Question

I now have one Kicker750.1 hooked up to my subwoofer, and the guy at the audio shop said that it would take a whole lot more than that amp to blow my sub... Its a 2-ohm sub, and the amp has 750rms at 2-ohms, so, 2 of them would be 1500watt rms, and the subwoofer has a peak rms of 1400watts.... but i can down the power a little...but, if i didnt, would 100watts over its peak rms blow the sub?

Answer 1

there is no such thing as "peak rms" if you sub has a peak of 1400, then the rms is going to be around 700. anything over rms can cause damage. i don't believe those amps can be strapped, and if you hook one to each vc, then you will over power the sub by double. i think the guy at the shop doesn't care if you blow it since he'll gladly sell you another one.

i see the specs that power acoustic give....they say "peak rms is 2400w" (gotta love low end brands for confusing the line between peak and rms...lol) they also say its 0.5 or 2 ohm....and its a DVC...so that would make each VC 1ohm.  assuming this is all correct, and you hooked an amp to each vc (running each amp at 1ohm) more than likely, you will fry they amps by making them work twice as hard as they are made to.

Answer 2

The main problem right now is you have a DVC 2 ohm woofer wired to a monoblock amp.  How is it wired now?  The only way you're getting 750W is if you wired both voice coils in parallel.  But, your amp would be seeing a 1 ohm load, which is not good.  (Kicker 750.1 is only 2 ohm stable.)

If you run two 750.1's, one to each of the voice coils, you'll more then likely blow the sub.  There's no way the sub can take that much power.  You'd be 20% over the true RMS of the sub which is too high.  You can risk it ... but is it worth the reward?

h**l nawl! You could burn your stuff up. if you want loud get anouther amp and a kicker CVR. Then you'll be hitten my guy.
