Ick...

Sorry you bought that. The Aura amps I listed are pretty respectable amps.

MA audio= Mobile Authority.

They switched it up as Mobile Authority got a dirty name years ago...

Just like Jensen... Who buys Jensen?

What's an Execution's RMS?

by Bwcad1 » Wed May 31, 2006 5:06 am

i only run 8kw's for burps if i run both amps. but i ran 4kw daily on my execution and it was fine. with impedence rise is was only seeing about 3000 watts though. but i was running it for about half an hour and the volume wasnt full all of the time. so dont forget that. its all thermal if the coil has time to cool down between runs of lots of power it will be fine. if you daily drive a sub that is grossly over powered for a long duration of time it will die.

Bwcad, you just run that amount of power for a couple seconds at most, right?

i ended up purchasing an MA Audio amplifier

im gonna use it for my 6 x 9's after i get my new amp ( june 21 ) my bday.

hoping to get a new sub also, but ill worry about subwoofer selection then, thanks for everyones help, glad i got a 2 channel amp rather then getting a low power single channel amp, which is what i was GOING to do, but thanks again guys

For a daily driver you cant and wont overpower a sub like that.

Heres the bottom line dude. 150 WRMS isnt much. Sure we can find amps that will work but in the end when you upgrade 150 WRMS isnt going to cut it...

So your decision is to run a bigger amp fromt he get go and hope the wiring brings the amp to a safely useable level OR you buy an amp now in the correct power range then use it for cabin speakers down the road.

like he said you can way over power subs but it depends on the lengths. ill be putting 2kw on a sub rated for 900. i put over 8kws on a mt which is rated for 3kws. remeber watts is just a thermal ratings

Actually, the sub's voice coil will thermally dissipate 150W before potentially becoming damaged. ;-)
