This 1000 Watt amp, is it too much for a speaker that uses 700 Watts?
Question by Asker: This 1000 Watt amp, is it too much for a speaker that uses 700 Watts?
I don’t know much about car audio.. Anyway, I have a 15″ sub that says it uses 700 Watts. I was looking around and came across a very cheap 1000 Watt amp. However, it says that it’s 2 x 500 Watts MAX output, or 1000 Watts bridged. Would that be OK to use, or should I be looking for 700 Watt amps?
Thanks, but I talked to my friend about it, he said that I should get an equal or less watt amp, because a more powerful amp could blow the speakers

No, that will work. It will only put out what it can. Since it’s not possible to put out 1000 wts on a 700 wt speaker, it will put out only (up to) 700. Probably less, around 550-650. The MAX output is what it could put out if it were attached to speakers with 1000 wts avaliable.
