kenwood sub, what amp.

[Adam]

I have now got a Kenwood 700w 12" sub, its 700w peak, what wattage amp would run it best.
Do you use the RMS for the sub to match it to the amp.
Does anyone know the rms of the sub.
Thanks

[epo]

dont put more than 700 watts through the sub

[Adam]

Yeah, i was thinking around 300-400w amp.

[Ginja]

700w sub id run a 480 / 500 w amp

[epo]

Yeah, i was thinking around 300-400w amp.

Does anyone know the RMS of my 700w sub, could a 275wRMS amp not run the sub, i ain't got ?150 to spend for a decent amp.
Looking at SPLX or second hand sony etc.

Your 275 watt RMS amp should be fine to run that sub mate. The RMS power of the Kenny sub is likely to be more or less 300 so you should be fine.

Avoid SPLx and Sony at all costs mate. They are the dogs bollox (literally) This is the best advice you'll ever hear.
