I recently purchased a 1000 Watt Polk 12" MOMO Subwoofer and a Polk Momo 850 Watt 2 channel Amp. If you are wondering why I got a 2 channel amp, don't worry I am going to have it bridged to 550x1. I am wondering if that will be enough bass? Or do you think I need another sub? This is not going to be for show or anything so I am not going to go crazy on it. Please post your opinions.

Cliffnotes: I bought one sub and I want to know if that is going to be enough.

 

no one can tell you the answer because no one will know if its enough for you. Its all a matter of personal preforance.

 

This is a question for anyone who has a sub or subs. What volume do you have it at when you are listening at a normal volume? and what volume when you have the sub pumping?

 

If the amps for your full range are matched to the sub amp(s), it shouldn't matter... I get "normal" bass at "normal" volume, and loud bass at high volumes.

Polk 6.5 comps/ Polk 6.5 coax on Fosgate 400aIV, full stereo 4 x 50w; (2) eD10k.44 on Fosgate 800aII running mono @ 960w.

Despite the fact that the subs get 18x the power of the rest of the drivers, so long as the gains are matched, they'll never know-- and the sound shouldn't tell you either.

 

just hook it up like u would any amp/sub... it should work fine for what u want..

 

You'll have to figure this out by yourself by playing with the volume, gain, bass boost, and whatever else tweaking your deck and amp have. Everyone sets it differently according to what they want.

 

I just wanted to know at what volume people listen to the radio at. It is not for me, I already have a set volume.

 

EDIT: Do you know anything about Low Pass Filter and High Pass Filter? I have my HPF set at 50Hz and and my LPF set at 80Hz +6. I know it is different on different head units but I want to know if having it at +6 will cause my speakers to blow?

 

Normal volume for me is 14 and when I want my subs to pump I turn it up to 25-30

SpeddyDOHC!!

Isn't saying "Normal volume for me is 14" something like running into a store and yelling "How much is that!?"
