Is it okay to mount an amp on an enclosure?
You should match, or nearly match, the power rating of the subwoofer regardless of the type of enclosure it's in. The main difference is that a subwoofer in a ported box can be damaged by playing low-frequency notes below the tuned frequency of the box; therefore if you're picking an amp for a sub in a ported box, you should find one with a subsonic or infrasonic filter to cut out the lowest notes.How do i hook up a car amp if the radio does not have rca jakes?
I have two 400 W subs in a sealed box, and im running 400W to them both... if I want it to have more thump, I turn the base up on my head unit.. persinally I wouldnt run more power to it then what its rated for.. it may take more power, but I wouldnt hook it up to more power.. but thats just me..How to tune audio crossover in my car?
You should go with a 500+ watt amp and watch the sub closely - don't let it go past its excursion, especially at low notes.Can i use a car amp with regular speakers?
With a ported box, you can usually feed a subwoofer quite a bit more power near the tuning frequency for short periods of time.
i dont believe a box has antyhing to do with the power of the sub. however u want to run the sub at the around the rms *example* 500 watt rms sub, 1000 peak. run that sub at about 600-700 watts. u always want to give ur sub atleast the rms, but dont exceed the peak.
