will this sub a good match for a P5002 amp? The amp is rated at 500W @ 4ohms bridged. Do you think this amp is 2ohm stable to produce 1000W? I will only be running a single 12. If the amp is stable at 2ohms, ill get the DVC 4ohm speaker. If not, I'll...

This particular amp can't produce a thousand watts, it's only a 500 watt amp. I think it's best since you're only running one sub to get the 2 ohm and just run you're amp at 500 watts rms. the p3's are 600 watts rms.

dude get the PX3200D its a class d 1ohm stable amp that anarchy ac1500.1 is an class a/b class D amps practicall effieciency is over 90 perc class a/b amps are no more then 78 percent also 1ohm amp gives you alot more possiblitys to wire your subs and if you can bear to lose a few more bucks got for the planet audio big bang BB2500.1 its there top of the line amplifiers. and its like 160 bucks

Hi Tyrus,I think the amp is more than sufficient. Please start at low volume otherwise it may damage the speakers. I have used this amp with a couple of speakers between 300W to 500W and it performs well.Thanks and I hope this helpsFernando

Yep, it's really 2ohm. 4ohm wired parallel whether it's 2 subs or 1 DVC sub will present a 2ohm load. So, what you're saying is your amp works well on a 2ohm load, and this sub will present that same load to your Amp.

I have the 4000.1 version of this amp, and it has a lot of power, so yes it has a lot of power. It also depends how you wire your speakers up. You get the most power out of the amp if you can hook your subs up at 1 ohm stable. Figure out what ohms your subs are and the ohm they will be in if you wire them in parallel or in series. There's plenty sub wire diagrams on google.

The 1000 watts RMS from your amp is fine to push one of the X-12s'. I think your amp is stable down to 2 ohms, so you'd actually want to grab the X-12 D4, since the dual 4 our voice coils would allow to paralell down to a 2 ohm load.

I don't remember if this amp is rated to 2 ohms. If it's not you'll cook it not matter how many fans you put in there. To answer your power questions, 2 ohms puts out about double the power compared to 4 ohms if I'm not mistaking. Also you need to make sure the speaker can run at 2 ohms. In short if your stuff is rated at 2 ohms and the amp can go down that low then you'll be happy. If nothing is rated for 2 ohms you'll be unhappy real fast.

I would recommend wiring for 2ohm setup. @ 1ohm it might be pushing the speakers to the limit. Power acoustic amps are inexpensive because they have a lot of distortion so don't Max them out. I'm running 3 @ 2.6 ohms on a hifonics 1500w and they bang!

Are the speakers 500 watts continues or peak power?, are the speakers subwoofers or 2/3 way systems? I would be cautious about connecting these speakers in the bridge mode because of the 3000 watt power output in 4ohms of this amplifier, also remember that running this amplifier in the bridged mode it should be plugged into a outlet with no extension cord with a minimum 30amp circuit breaker. Before going to the bridged mode try a mono connection it should give you enough power and be safe. Good luck.

I had two 11l7 12" running on two 1500w @1ohm amps in a ban pass box. I got around 153db... 24ft.cub. they lasted 9 months that is running the max. I upgraded to the 15"s... You should be good....Now I am running 75% power same style box. My amps don't get warm driving them for hours!!!

If you have a pair of these your options with this amp are 125w to each in stereo. Each sub is 4 ohms and the bridged x1 or (mono) operation for this amp is rated for 4 ohms x1 @ 450w for use with a sub. You have two subs both at 4 ohms so wiring the subs in parallel will create a 2 ohm load on the amp and it will quickly overheat. The manual states unfortunately that the bridged 2 ohm load cannot be used for a sub. I actually tried it and found it to be true with the amp heating up and going into protect.

This speaker is 700 watts program power, which means the average amount of power it can handle over the duration of your performance, DJ job, etc. It's peak power handling capability is 1400 watts, which means the top level amount of power it can handle in short bursts, like someone screaming into a microphone or a loud sound effect. So, that being said, an amp that puts out about 500-600 Watts per channel (i.e. left channel for one speaker, right channel for another speaker just like it) RMS (on average) would be ideal. Remember, these speakers are 4 ohm, not the standard 8 ohm of most speakers. This means that hooking up two of these to one channel (either left or right) will give a 2 ohm load on that channel. Therefore, any amp you buy should be able to put out 500-600 Watts RMS into 4 ohms per channel if you want to run one speaker per channel. If you are going to buy 4 of these speakers to run two speakers per channel, then you would want an amp that puts out 1000-1200 watts RMS into 2 ohms per channel. Speaker impedance (the ohms rating) is CRITICAL to get right. Hooking up too many speakers to one channel by daisy-chaining them will drop the impedance too low and you could experience your amp shutting off or not operating correctly. Most amps have circuitry designed to do this in the event of an impedance problem to protect the amp. Take a look at the spec sheet here. http://assets.peavey.com/literature/specs/114378_18647.pdf

It would do okay. I personally wouldn't go that route. I would either go bigger by a 1000 watts or do two seperate amps. You would be maxed on the 1500w amp and the sound wouldn't be as clean. Amp would get really hot. I use it to drive 2 - 12" Solobaric L7's. I guess what I don't know off the top of my head is the rating on the L3's. In addition what ohm are those speakers? I believe this amp is Ohm stable down to 2 Ohms.

My friend who i think actually has a review posted about this amp (gordon or gdiddy) has this amp powering two 15in p3s and they slam! If you are worried about it being too weak just wire to 2 ohm (900 watts) or 1 ohm (1200 watts)
413588
Im running 2 p2 12in with this amp. Its ok... i recommend you run at least a 1200 watt amp with those p3s... i have the 1200 watt on 2 p2s in my yukon.... sounds real good!!!

This amp will push that no problem if your sub is 1000 rms this might not be the p for you but if that's the peak power and your rms is between 300-500 you should be ok also you should know if your sub is a dual coil sub do not run it at 1 ohm or else you will blow the amp

That amp would be running around 1000-1200 watts at 2ohm if im right that speaker only takes 600watts if u turn your bass down and gain down it be fine but u have becareful not to over drive it... So i shop around for a better match for that amp they are great amps there under rated very strong and clean amps....
