This amp with 2 12" apline type r?

Question

the subs are

12" Type R Series Subwoofer

Power Handling:

Peak: 1500 watts

RMS: 500 watts

Dual 4 ohms

will two of those subs be able to run off a

Lanzar 2400W Max, 2-Channel Max Series Amplifier

4 ohms: 600 watts x 2 chan

?

and is this to much for a small car (ford foces 4 door no hatchback?)

thanks,

Answer 1

sounds good. it should work. and its never too much for a car.lol

Answer 2

amp needed= 1000watts RMS @ 1 or 4ohms CEA-compliant

the subs are a OK choice but the amp is junk (hope you have not already purchased it), that amp is not CEA-compliant so you don't really have an idea of the wattage it pushes out

you need to match RMS wattages and with cheap amps like that you are setting yourself up for failure

heres why:

If you send too much power to your sub, you risk damaging it. The cone of the speaker and the mechanical parts that make it move may break under the stress. Surprisingly, too little power can also damage your subwoofer — in fact, it's actually more common than damage caused by overpowering.

When the volume is turned up and the amp doesn't have enough power, the signal becomes distorted, or "clipped." This distorted signal can cause parts of the speaker to overheat, warp and melt. Not good!

You don't have to match speaker and amp wattages exactly. An amp with a higher output than the speaker's rating won't necessarily damage the speaker — just turn the amp down a bit if you hear distortion from the sub and don't run the speaker at extremely loud volumes for lengthy periods. Likewise, you'll be OK with a lower powered amp if you keep the volume down and don't feed a distorted signal to the sub.

this is what you need to look for in amps

(means that the amp has been tested and produces or exceeds the advertised wattage (RMS) with minimum distortion)

CEA-2006 Compliant

On May 28, 2003, the Consumer Electronics Association published standard CEA-2006, "Testing & Measurement Methods for Mobile Audio Amplifiers." This "voluntary" standard advocates a uniform method for determining an amplifier's RMS power and signal-to-noise ratio. Using 14.4 volts, RMS watts are measured into a 4-ohm impedance load at 1 percent Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) plus noise, at a frequency range (for general purpose amplifiers) of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Signal-to-Noise ratio is measured in weighted absolute decibels (dBA) at a reference of 1 watt into 4 ohms. This applies to both external amplifiers and the amplifiers within in-dash receivers.

CEA-2006 allows consumers to be able to compare car amplifiers and receivers on an equal basis. Manufacturers who choose to abide by the new standard are able to stamp their products with the CEA-2006 logo that reads: "Amp Power Standard CEA-2006 Compliant."
