Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Audio 1600 WATTS OR MORE

I see that you have 6 12W6s that I assume you are slightly overpowering (1000 to each of two set of 3 subs) the speakers a little. That accounts for 2000 of the watts. What are you doing with the other 2000 watts?!?!!?

Are the MMATs subs a recent addition?

for the 12w6's, rms is 300, but they can be pushed al little over 900 watts before they bottom out, so he could just be running a little over 600 watts each and be fine

I was just curious about the set up. The pics of his car show a RF and a SS amp. I'm guessing those were recently replaced. 3 of the DH200Cs would provide about 400 watts to each of the 6 speakers. That's defintely within their power handling capabilities for very short periods of time. That would give him 2400 watts. I don't know what the fourth amp is driving or how many watts it's producing, but I doubt there is enough speakers installed to drive that amp to it's capabilities.

Now that I wrote it down it seems somewhat more reasonable than when i first read it. 2600-3000 watts is more realistic and that would work well with 3 1 farad caps and a extra battery.
