I have a Sony 1000 watt amp and i want to know what kind of a subwoofer i can get. Im think along the lines of 1500w subwoofer. Is that too high or too low?

Ok so u have a Sony 1000watt amp. But really you have a 500-600watt amp. I’m not trying to be a diick or anything but Sony just over rates in power. And I would just go with like a Sony subwoofer I’m sure that would be best bet.

Like many budget/mainstream amps, that 1000w is a peak power rating. It is probably around 400w rms bridged at 4 ohms, maybe a little less.
So naturally you’d be looking for something in the 400w rms range that is either a single 4 ohm voice coil or dual 2 ohm voice coil.
