FAQ about 500 Watt Sub

i have a 600 watt amp and a 500 watt sub wil this work? 12" sub 500 watts will it be ok to hook up to a 600 watt amp You'll be fine. Even though, the amp is rated at 600 watts, it isn't putting out a continuous 600 watts as soon as you turn it on. My home theater sub is actually a good example of this. The sub that I used to build it is rated at 300 watts RMS and the amp that I used is rated at 500 watts RMS. But, because the gain is set properly and the sub isn't played at full volume all of the time, It is a very reliable set up.
In short, a 100 watt differential in power shouldn't hurt your sub. just make sure that you use a good method of setting the gain. Since most people don't have an oscilloscope to set the gains, the multimeter method is the preferred method to set the gain.

What kind of amp would you suggest for a kicker 15" 500 watt comp sub for under 150 dollars? What kind of amp would you suggest for a kicker 15" 500 watt comp sub for under 150 dollars?

Clarion 12" 500 watt sub in a box with a Logic Soundlab 980 watt amp? thnking about buying this for $200. is it a good deal? in car audio you always get what you pay for, and the sub might be OK but that amp is trash
when you buy an amp one of the most important things to look for is to see if it makes the wattage that it says it does (Cea-compliant) and its not over rated (like that one), companies get there reputations for a reason and if you have not heard of them its for a reason (Logic Soundlab?)
CEA-2006 Compliant
On May 28, 2003, the Consumer Electronics Association published standard CEA-2006, "Testing & Measurement Methods for Mobile Audio Amplifiers." This "voluntary" standard advocates a uniform method for determining an amplifier's RMS power and signal-to-noise ratio. Using 14.4 volts, RMS watts are measured into a 4-ohm impedance load at 1 percent Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) plus noise, at a frequency range (for general purpose amplifiers) of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Signal-to-Noise ratio is measured in weighted absolute decibels (dBA) at a reference of 1 watt into 4 ohms. This applies to both external amplifiers and the amplifiers within in-dash receivers.
CEA-2006 allows consumers to be able to compare car amplifiers and receivers on an equal basis. Manufacturers who choose to abide by the new standard are able to stamp their products with the CEA-2006 logo that reads: "Amp Power Standard CEA-2006 Compliant."

Would it be a bad idea to use a 1000 watt amp with a 500 watt sub? I'm getting a 12" alpine type R sub, and I found a great deal on a 1000 watt kicker amp. Would it be a bad idea to use them together? Could I not fully use the amp so that it doesn't blow the speaker? Sorry, I don't know much about car audio. (yes and no) YES: you can run a bigger amp than your subs but you have to turn your amp down so you wont blow the subs! dont but all the knob/bass all the way up! if your careful you can get by!
NO: if your not careful and dont watch what you are doing then yes you cold just might blow your subwoofer!
