Ok here it is. i am getting a monoblock 1100 peak 500rms amp for 2 500peak and 250rms subs. i was wondering is it ok if the subs are 50 watts over powered? by the way it is at 2 ohlms.

 

first of all, never pay attention to peak power. Second, how do you figure that each sub is getting 50RMS more than suggested? 250+250 = 500

 

peak 1100 amp
peak subs 500

2 subs - 1000 so therefore 1100 minus 1000 equals 100 over two subs... 50 watts each... simple math...

 

ok like bobditts said you dont pay attention to peak power. RMS is the only thing you wanna look at

 

Peak means squat........ All peak is is a number that companies put on things to make them seem better. Typically your system will average 12 volts to your amp which will fluxuate all over the place without a capacitoras your amp drains power from your vehicles power supply.. Peak power is usaully determined from the company pumping a continuos 14 or more volts through the amp to find out voltage. RMS is what the amp will consistantly put out. A question I have is that you stated " by the way it is at 2 ohms" what is? the amp or the subs or both. Also are the subs single or dual voicecoil? It is very important that you use the correct ohm impedance when dealing with subs. If not you can ruin your subs or burn up your amp if not both. Lets say you have two SVC (single voice coil) subs that are 2ohm, if thats the case you need a mono 4 ohm amp or a 2 channel 2ohm amp. Since you said you have a mono amp we will stick with that. There are many ways of running things but you need to tell me all the info and I will gladly help you.

 

lol theres your proof I dont even pay attention to peak.
