300 watts

[1993 CB7 LX]

hey guys, so i bought a 1200 watt, 350 watt rms sony xplod 12 inch. My amp only puts out 300 watts. i was going to buy another one of the same sub, but then i got to thinking, maybe the bass will be lower beacuase then each sub would only have 150 watts going to it. If i bought another sub, would the bass loudness be the same as the one sub turned all the way up, or would it be louder than the one sub?

It would be the same.

how you going to wire the amp to the subs?

mono or 2 channel?

[1993 CB7 LX]

idk, i was gonna do 2 channel. like 150 watts to one, then 150 watts to the other.

[cvc7chris]

u can prob do mono bridged?* and get more power to them or no?

also is ur sub single or dual voice coil

[1993 CB7 LX]

pretty sure its dual.

[cb7rush]

pretty sure its dual.

Its dual but you wont get much clear crisp bass if you use a low amp. It will sound about the same but the clarity will be lost.

I have the same sub on a 600 watt amp, and it has clear bass, but if I connect another one, since my amp is 600 watts, it will sound a little more clear, but one is enough.

if its possible for you to bridge your amp that would be better. put more power to each sub.

I save the trunk space and money and stick with running a single sub. Just my .02

saving space for sure but depending on the kind of sub you get and everything that doesnt always mean saving money

It'll be the same amount of power to each sub.

300w to one sub = same volume as 2 subs with half the power. If he fed both subs 300w its only a 3db gain and if he ported the box it's another 3 db gain.

To the OP, is your box sealed or ported?

He said he was thinking about buying another sub. That's what I meant by saving money was not to buy a second sub and to just put the entire 300 to a single sub instead of splitting it between two. It may look better having two in your trunk but it's going to sound the same without a bigger amp.

my box is sealed.

[sonikaccord]

my box is sealed.

Instead of buying another sub, why don't you try out a ported box.

X2 and PS you cant bridge a mono block amp.
