i just bought a new kenwood 1000w amp and four pioneer 6.5s and i have shityy mobile authority subs (2 10s) even though the subs are crap how good do u think the system will be?

sasap

It will be better but the subs will still be crappy. Oh and thats 1000w MAX not RMS.

JLO

whats the difference between max and rms?

b00gers

RMS, Root Means Square...basically means how much wattage you should feed it. So when looking at amps, you look for the amp's RMS.

Max, it is a number you should not even look at.

JLO

so do i have a powerfull enough amp to run 4 180w 6.5" speakers and 2 10" subs if my amp is 1000w

totalimmortal

You'll need two seperate amps to run your car speakers and the two subs.

JLO

the RMS is 250x2 and 170x2 is this good? and i swear this is the last rookie question i have i will now leave you guys alone......

If the amplifier is two channels then there is no way to run all of those speakers. If your amplifier is 4 channels then you technically could run everything but you would be drastically shorting the life of your amp if you run the two subs in bridged setup and the front and rear speakers on the remaining two channels. If this is your only option I recommend you run the subs parrallel (one sub on each channel) and combine the left front and rear to one channel and the right front and rear to the other remaining channel. This setup should sound pretty good but another amp will make your system a lot easier and more stable for sure. Hope this helps, if you have any other ?'s please ask.

ok so all i am going to do is run the two 10's off the amp and just run the speakers off the deck .........although with the amp i have will the subs be powered enough .....and will the speakers be loud enough just running off the deck?

That part is subjective. Itll work just fine...but will they be as loud as you can get them? No. The amp in the headunit is puny.
