Is it OK to over power subwoofer?
Truly, overpowering a subwoofer comes with fewer risks than underpowering and sending a clipped audio signal. However, overpowering a subwoofer can cause damage– especially when it is taking place in the consistent use of this type of equipment.
How much can you over power a subwoofer?
you can go over or under by about 15% or so without it being problematic. they will take under powered better than over powered. make sure the impedance matches or you can damage your output transformer.
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.
Will Underpowering a subwoofer damage it?
Underpowering a subwoofer by providing it too little power or too low of volume will not damage it. However, a clipped (distorted) signal can come from underpowering the amp and result in damage to the subwoofer. RMS ratings on the amplifier and subwoofer can prevent damage.
How much over RMS can you go?
When you look for an amp for your subs, you will need about 15-20% of headroom. Headroom is extra power above the combined RMS. If your subs are 300 watts RMS combined, then you need 345-360 Watts RMS to have safe headroom. If you go above that, then you will overpower your subs, and damage them.
How do you know if your subs are overpowered?
as soon as you hear any 'farting', distortion or 'popping' noise at a high volume, turn the gains even lower. this will maximize the performance of your subs. just be careful on how loud you play it, you may not hear the distortion from the inside while the trunk is closed.
Can an amp overpower 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.
What happens if you overpower a speaker?
Many sources claim that overpowering a speaker with an amp is fine as it will simply clip and distort at high levels which is unwanted anyways, so it is rare speakers would ever be damaged because of it.
