Can i connect my BOSS Chaos 1100 watt amp to a EFX hyperdrive 12″ sub?

by

i just want to know if it will work.. confused on the Wattage/RMS thing.
im using a 55watt RCA LOC (line out converter) from my 08 Dodge Charger stock radio.. to my amp and then to one 12″ sub.

  • should be ok, being aware that Boss are not the last word in quality.

    their manual states power output into 2 ohms will be 50% more than into 4 ohms.

    This is an admittance that the internal circuitry isn’t really optimised for 2 ohms else power would double (1% more)

    However, the sub with dual voice coils needs to be wired in parallel or series, giving 8 ohms or 2 ohms.

    so, follow this wiring guide

    mono amp into 2 ohm load (speaker coils wired in parallel), but bear in mind the amp will probably distort before the speaker, and distorted power into a speaker is likely to destroy the speaker.

  • Boss audio highly overrates its equipment. You will be lucky if that amp really makes 2 watts rms. the subwoofer you linked too is rated to handle 3 watts rms. they will work fine together. just don’t go around telling everyone you have a 11 watt amp. Because you don’t. I am not saying that to be mean, I am trying to keep you from getting laughed at by people who know car audio.

    Oh, wire the subwoofer at 2 ohms.
