Subwoofer Watt Questions
How many subwoofer watts does my subwoofer need? I have an Audiobahn aw1000q and was wondering how many watts I need out of an amplifier for the sub itself to be loud and still sound good? I can't find anything in forums on this sub or anything. Please Help ME??

This is actually a funny question because one of our writers himself has this Audiobahn subwoofer. The aw1000q class is a great subwoofer. I have heard so much smack talked about Audiobahn that it is crazy. "The subs are made in Japan with cheap materials. Or that the reason they went out of business was because their equipment is crap."
I have handed this question over to him starting here!
Hi Jake, my names Shawn and I myself have been researching the aw1000q for a long time and you are right. The information is barely there. I believe I found maybe around 5 different tutorials on the entire internet that I searched.
That's not a big deal though. Because I have played around with the subs enough to know what they need and don't need. I'm going to come straight out and say these subs have amazed me.. and I have heard a lot of different heavy bass.
I honestly have around 140 RMS going to one of these subs, and it sounds amazing. I would compare it to a RF P3 deep bass of a subwoofer. So really, you can probably put anywhere from 100 to 300 RMS to this subwoofer. I know it calls for 600 RMS but I don't think I would push it that far. These subs are moving very heavy the 100 mark of RMS.
So to answer your subwoofer watts question. Get an audio amplifier that puts out anywhere from 100 RMS to 300 RMS. And don't forget if you have two of the subwoofers, your going to need to get a two channel amplifier, or else it will be split in half with only one channel and you will then have to shoot for like a total of 500 rms or so. I'm somewhat rambling now, so I will finish this up.
If you have any quesitons, don't be afraid to post below in the blog posting section or just send me an email. Thanks for visiting the sites! Hope you enjoyed and this helped.
