Would a crunch gp 2500 push a 12" FI BL?

Question

would a crunch gp2500 push a fi bl @ 2 ohms ?

Answer 1

NO

its far from CEA-compliant

you would be lucky if the amp puts out half of the advertised RMS wattage and it would more than likely be distorted (the main cause of speaker damage)

CEA-compliant means the amps have been tested and produce or exceed the advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion

here are the CEA-compialnt brands

Alpine

Bazooka

Blaupunkt

Clarion

Eclipse

Infinity

JBL

JL Audio

JVC

Kenwood

Kicker

Memphis

MTX

Orion

Pioneer

Polk Audio

PPI

Rockford Fosgate

Sony

its better to buy CEA-compliant brands because its impossible to properly match an amp and subs if you don't know the "REAL" RMS wattage, here's what can happen

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.

Even the toughest sub, however, can be damaged by excessive distortion from a clipped signal.

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.

Answer 2

yes
