How many watts can a 10 inch Kicker Comp handle?
The Comp 10-Inch Subwoofer works best with a sealed or ported enclosure and 150 watts of recommended power. See below for more details.
What size box do I need for a 10 inch sub?
A good rule of thumb is to add at least 2 to 3 inches to the size of the subwoofer. For example, a 10-inch sub should have a front panel at least 12 to 13 inches square. Size the depth of the box to create the volume you require for your box.
What is the hardest hitting Kicker subwoofer?
The hardest hitting subs are ones from Kicker. For example, the Kicker 800 watts dual voice coil subwoofer can pump out an impressive 800 watts at peak power and 400 RMS. The frequency range is between 25 to 500 Hz, which takes care of all the bass tones audible by human ears.
What hits harder 2ohm or 4ohm?
A subwoofer with a lower electrical resistance produces a louder sound than one with a high electrical resistance, which means that 2ohm subwoofers are louder than 4ohm ones.
What hits harder 1ohm or 4ohm?
If we talk in technical terms 1-ohm impedance will hit harder than 4 ohms to create more output when given with similar wattage, just because of the low impedance.
Can you put a 12 inch sub in a 10-inch box?
Not likely. The box dimensions and port size are specific to not only the size of the subwoofer, but also the specific subwoofer. Two different 12″ subwoofers may have entirely different enclosure specifications, and almost always do.
Will a ported box hit harder?
Air flowing through the port adds to the boom. Another reason ported subs hit so hard and deep is that the air flowing in and out of the port creates an audio effect like that made by a whistle or blowing across the mouth of a bottle, and that tone adds to and strengthens the note the cone plays.
How do I make my subs hit the hardest?
How to Make Subwoofers Hit Harder
- Choose the correct amplifier for the subwoofer. Every type of subwoofer requires a certain power output by an amplifier.
- Install the subwoofer in a bandpass box.
- Adjust the settings on the amplifier and stereo unit to accommodate the subwoofer.
Is it better to run subs in series or parallel?
While series wiring of multiple subs increases the total effective impedance, parallel wiring of multiple loads lowers the total effective impedance. With subwoofers rated at equal impedances, the system impedance is equal to the impedance of one sub voice coil divided by the number of subs.
