I wanted to use car woofer as Home Hifi woofer and i wanted to get those 2.1 mini amplifier that can be found in Shopee. The sub output rated by the mini amp is 100w RMS. Not sure at what Ohm. It says able to support from 4ohm to 8ohm.
Question is, if i buy a car woofer that is rated at 300w RMS 4 ohm dual voice coil, does that mean if i connect the woofer to the amp via 8 ohm wiring, does the woofer cut in half power to 150w?
I mean can the 300w 4ohm DVC woofer connect to 100w amp via 8ohm woofer wiring?
Thanks.

QUOTE(fireballs @ Jun 30 2020, 06:31 PM) i suppose you are looking at this amp https://www.lazada.com.my/products/tpa3116d...2981766493.htmlgo to the datasheet at https://www.ti.com/product/TPA3116D2#produc...tails##featuresthen you will see its 50+50W at 4ohm means ngam your application. they mix two channel to form 100W err what is a subwooffer speaker with dual voice coil? Ohh that's great bro. I didn't know about the data sheet. The woofer i looking at is either this. Rockford Fosgate R2D4-12 KENWOOD KFC-W3514DVC Do you know if they supported for Nobsound 2.1 50w x2 + 100w for woofer. Thanks a lot.

QUOTE(danielmckey @ Jun 30 2020, 06:36 PM) You just need to match you subwoofer power with the amp. If your amp is more power than subwoofer. The sound will be distorted. The amp is rated 100w output and the woofer rated around 300w for 4ohm DVC. Do u think the amp can push the woofer? Should it be wiring at 8ohm or 2ohm? Thanks.

QUOTE(fireballs @ Jun 30 2020, 06:57 PM) Thanks for the helpful response bro. But I'm little confused here. U mentioned 2 ohm. So that means i need to set subwoofer wiring as 2 ohm? Will the woofer wattage increase coz of 2ohm? And the 100w from the mini amp will output 2ohm or 4ohm? Thanks.

QUOTE(fireballs @ Jun 30 2020, 08:13 PM) 2ohm means its easier to push, less resistance. to get your full 100W, you need low ohm and high voltage. if you use the standard 12V, most likely you wont get full 100W. recommend to use 24vdc. I just purchased 24v 5a adapter. But I'm just wondering, the sub output is max 100w at 4ohm. So if i wired the woofer at 2ohm, then the woofer surely needs more than 100w right? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
