Generally you should pick an amplifier that can deliver power equal to twice the speaker's program/continuous power rating. This means that a speaker with a “nominal impedance” of 8 ohms and a program rating of 350 watts will require an amplifier that can produce 700 watts into an 8 ohm load.
How do you know what size amplifier to get?
A general rule for choosing an amplifier is to select an amp that provides 1.5-2 times the continuous power rating of your speaker. This will ensure the speaker has enough power while leaving yourself 3 dB of headroom.
How do I know what amp to get for my subs?
Step 1: How much power? Find out the “watts RMS” rating of the sub. Then, multiply the number of subs you have by the RMS rating of each, to get their total RMS rating. You want to make sure the amp you choose will supply no more than the sub system's total RMS rating.
How do you know if you need a bigger amp?
Basically, the louder the sound system and the bigger the room, the more power is required. Loudspeakers with high sensitivity need less power than loudspeakers with low sensitivity. The list below recommends the total amplifier power needed for several applications.
What size amp do I need for my car speakers?
For your speakers, use an amplifier whose top RMS output per channel is no higher than each speaker's top RMS rating. For your amplifier, get speakers with top RMS ratings that are equal to or higher than each amp channel's top RMS output.
Can an amplifier be too powerful for speakers?
Amplifiers can be too powerful for speakers. Speakers are limited by the electrical energy that they can convert into audio. As a general rule, if the amplifier produces more electrical energy than the speakers can handle, it may cause distortion or clipping, but damage is unlikely.
How do you match speakers to amplifiers?
The bottom line: Our general advice would be that it's fine to connect speakers with a higher impedance to an amplifier capable operating with a lower impedance, but what you shouldn't do is connect speakers with a lower impedance (say, 4 ohms) to an amplifier with a higher minimum impendence (10 ohms, for example).
What if my amp is too powerful for my sub?
Turn the deck up with the amp gain at/near minimum till the speakers distort or you reach your "loud" listening volume. Now raise the gains on the amp till either the sub distorts or you achieve the amount of bass you desire. You'll have to tweak it a bit further likely, but this will get you in right area.
