is the 1600 watt bridged mode RMS or max?

800 per side or 1600 bridged... Also 800 watts per side obtained when using two 8 ohm speakers per side. Set all inputs off... turn on amp main to 3 oclock... then turn chan up as needed.. use pad to reduce sensitivity on a per chan basis.

I have a 1200watt power supply, and I have the computer plugged into a 15 amp household circuit with nothing else but my computer system running on that circuit. I tried plugging my computer, monitor, and speakers into a UPS so that I could turn all on at once, but that trips the UPS every time due to electrical surge. I have to turn on the computer, then the monitor, then the speakers about 15 - 30 seconds apart. If you want to use a 1600 watt supply, I would make sure you're on a 20 amp circuit.

Don't put it past 1000 watts rms. Also put it in a ported box. I had mine in a sealed box at 1000 watts rms. It got too hot and melted my speaker wire.

With the brx 1600 u gonna put out bout 700 watts at 2ohm. Whats ur speaker rated for Mrs and peak power

what about speakers with 150-watt maximum input power? I'm a novice at this stuff

Well, the problem with this amp is that doesn't really gives you the 1600 watts of power.I wanted to replace my current amp (800 watts) for this, but this one really disappointed me because my 800 watts amp had more power. So what I did was to dedicate this one to the bass and the 800 watts for the 4 speakers.So in conclusion, this amp is like any 600 watts amp so think about it :).

If i remember correctly the rms wattage rating was 250, but i run a RF 500 watt mono amp in mine at about 60-70% gain and it hits really nice. It might be a little overkill but you can lower the gain.

I have three of these and have a 1600 watt hifonics Brutus amp and it powers them fine. The rms is 300 watts so if your getting one I'd say go for a 500 watt amp. Don't go cheap on the amp though.

These subs listed are SVC 4 ohm with 200w rms so this amp will under power these subs in stereo mode. The bridged mode is only meant for subs at a 4 ohm load with this amp unfortunately.

I don't know the rms/peak wattage. But I have had this speaker going on a year. And it's really durable and very loud. You won't go wrong with this speaker/sub combo while on a budget.

Yes, the vp 2520s is 500 watts RMS/2000 peak. Bridge mode into 4 ohms will deliver enough. A 8 ohm load is 1520 watts bridge. If the speaker can't be equal distance apart, then go with the I Nuke 6000 DSP amp.

I was going to say it seemed like 100 watts rms was the stated max for wattage--and durned if I wasn't right....Just know its just a numbers game with higher #'s being more impressive. I look at the sensitivty rating of the speaker 1st especially for car systems--they seem to play even more 'bigger is better games' than the home system players. Anyway, it's all in your ears when it comes down to it...that and budget restraints.

I wont run mine with anything under a 1200 watt amp with dual 12's. the one I have now is a 1600 watt amp and it runs amazing.

I have a 1600 watt on mine because I liked the amp but rms on these are 400 watts so 1100 will be fine just make sure you have a gain remote on it and you can adjust how deep you want the bass. I have both of mine in a sealed enclosure and they sound great

I would say 2000 watt max, but for 2 of these subs I would say a 1200-1500 would be perfect.

RMS Continuous Power: 40 Watts x 4 @ 4-Ohms, 60 Watts x 4 @ 2-Ohms, 125 Watts x 2 @ 4-Ohms Bridged

I am not familiar and don't use Bridge Mode. There is a Stereo/Bridge Mode selector on the back of the unit. Bridge Mode is covered in the manual which reads "Stereo/Bridge Mode Selector lets you select ... BRIDGED input mode to provide over 160 watts RMS mono output. For mono application use only the R+ AND L- of speaker A channel output."
