What kind of subwoofer is it? Whats the name brand or is it a DIY subbie?

polkaudiosupra101

its a 12" polk audio gnx124

the sub is very good quality i now have mine hooked up to a 800 watt amp and it hits very hard

doorbell

Ok, so it's a Polk sub. Im stupid and dumb but could you clarify as to the symbols gnx124? Is it similiar to a Polk 350 sub? Just trying to get as much information before commiting myself. Wouldn't it sound pretty good with a second sub to your system? How many amps is the sub? I already have a Sony SAW40 sub with 120 amps and it kicks. Audioreview.com rated the Sony sub as a 4.6 out of 5 stars from 234 consumers and thinking of adding a second sub to go with RM6600. Thanks for your patience on answering my questions.

polkaudiosupra101

gnx 124 means that its a 12 inch sub thus the 12 and the 4 means that its stable at 4 ohms (which is good) i believe i actually have mine at 2 ohms which its not suppossed to be able to handle but it does so thats a plus. i believe that the sub sounds good and will hit hard no matter how many watts you have going to it. ive had 400, 800, 200, and 50 watts(it was hooked up to my stereo without an amp) going to the gnx124 and it sounded good at all amounts of power. any other questions? by all means ask me i dont mind at all.

polkaudiosupra101

the sub says that its peak power is 400 watts but you can hook up 3 times any subs power peak considering its hooked up correctly and safely. like i said ive had 800 watts going to mine before.as far as it sounding good it all depends on what you have it in (what kind of box) and how much power you have going to it in that box. my friend has two sony 12"s and i definately think that this is just as good a sub if not better.

blu_viper

you aren't real bright are you there bud first of all you can't have your sub pulling 2 ohms unless you have two subs wired in parallel second of all you said that your amp pushes twice as many watts as what the speakers are rated at becuase the peak on the subs are 400 well geuss what 175 (the rms rating is what the max power really is the peak to peak rating is normally closer to twice as much as what your subs can handle. it's normally good to buy an amp thats rated to push your subs at what the peak is rated and set the amp down to what the RMS rating is. you cannot wire a sub to pull a different amount of OHM's than what its rated at unless you have 2 or more (2 4ohm subs make a 2ohm load, 2 8ohm subs make a 4 ohm load and 4 8ohm subs make a 2ohm load)

polkaudiosupra101

it is at two ohms considering i have my amp on 2 positive and 2 negative wires because my box is made for two 12s so dont reply to things you dont know about idiot. and i have my sub hooked up to a 800 watt amp with 400 rms. if you doubt pyramids then rest assured that i have had my sub hooked up to a rockford 600 watt amp so once again go play ignorant on someone elses thread. ok?? thanx anyway!

Not to argue, but state the facts....

You cannot lower the OHM load of one, single voice coil sub, regardless of the wiring to the amp(s).

If you had a dvc model, you could parallel wire to reach 2 ohm (with 2 4ohm voicecoils). If you have two (single voice coil, 4 ohm)subs installed, you could parallel also, to reach 2ohm.

So is he running 2 ohm? With 2, 4 ohm 124's installed, he can. With 1, 4ohm 124 installed, no.

Cheers,
Russ

blu_viper

good job russman but the model number on the dual voice coil model is 12DVC and unless i read the post wrong he said he has one sub hooked up to a 800watt amp

blu_viper

stupid question i fogot to ask in the last message, how exactly are you running 1 sub out of a box made for two subs? or are you running two subs? and also any sub is going to have better clairity and sound if you have an amp that pushes more power for instance if you have a sub rated for 200 watts and an amp rated for 200 watts there will be lots of distortion, you might not be able to notice it but it will damage the subs and reduce the life to the subs so it is better to a a 350 or higher amp on a sub rated for a 200watt sub, also the sub is not whats rated as being stable at 4 ohms or 8ohms or whatever else its the amp that matters you will melt (litterally) the amp if you run a 1.2 ohm load on an amp thats rated as low as 2 ohms also if you bridge it like it sounds like your doing your doubling your ohm load (changing 2ohms into 4ohms) and taking your watt rating in half.
and i'm not any where neer ignorant.
thanks for your time i'd like to find somebody competent to talk to

polkaudiosupra101

aren't you the one whp replied to my post??..........yeah, you are. so that means........? i didnt come to you? hmmmmmmmmm

polkaudiosupra101

you are correct i am only running 4 ohms; my mistake. but i dont agree with the rms info you gave. ive also had my amp hooked up to a 200 pioneer and mtx amp which is less than the claimed peak power of the gnx124 and it sounded great and so does my pyramid amp at both a claimed 400 and 800 watts. so please explain if you find me competent enough to comprehend. thanx

blu_viper

what would you like me to explain? the fact that peak power has nothing to do with what the power of the sub can handle or the fact that a higher watt amp will have less distortion than a lower watt amp?

polkaudiosupra101

both of those are related to eachother (for example; youre not going to hook up a 1000 watt amp to 200 watt sub are you?) a so go ahead and explain both......you got it now? and one question. why does it get distorted if you have a lower watt amp hooked up to it? explain that so i might understand because once again ive had my 400 watt peak power gnx124 which is capable of about 1200 watts hooked up to a 200 watt pioneer from walmart. that sounded fine, actually it sounded great. thanx again

scott

blu_viper

if you hook up a 1000 watt amp to a 200 watt sub then you will be able to set the amp to amplify the power up to 200 watts creating a clean sound coming from an amp that has absolutly no problem supplying 200 watts although if you hook up a 200 watt amplifier to a 200 watt sub then the amp will have to struggle to push 200 watts. basically if you can push 200 lbs. maxed out than it will be hard to do although if you have someone that can push 1000 lbs than it will be no problem for them to push 200 lbs.
i don't know as to whether or not i said this earlier but you might be able to hear the bass just fine but your sub will be feeling distortion therefore wearing it down quicker and making it easier to blow in the future. if you would like you can contact someone from polk and ask them what they think and i would imagine that they will say about the same thing

polkaudiosupra101

theoretically thats great i understand what youre saying. but i know that ive had my sub hooked up to a 200 watt amp and it had no problem with distortion or overheating or overload and it was a cheap pioneer. so what does all that have to do with my setup and the gnx124?

blu_viper

Honestly i was just trying to keep some idiot that doesn't know anything about car subs from buying it for neer full price and then having it blown due to the fact that you did not set it up correctly

polkaudiosupra101

well thanx anyways but i think i can handle explaining things to the "idiots that are interested in my sub". peace out

scott

scottvamp

Can't we all just get along? Actually the first guy that responded and was scared off was (I think wanted a powered home theater sub) and you are selling a raw car sub. Thats pretty funny. Later:p

doorbell

Wasn't scared off but realized the flaky idiot was playing me and knew what I wanted. You are right, I wanted a home theather sub and made that very plain, PSW 350. Lesson learned.

polkaudiosupra101

ummm i said up front that i was not familiar with the sony subs. i am definately not familiar with home audio subs. so you should consider redirecting that insult if it is indeed aimed at me. heres an idea try that one on a mirror because there is no flaky idiot here claiming that a car sub is what you are indeed looking for. god ignorant people suck! thanx again.

scott

jollygreenjyunt

I'm interested in buying your sub for no more than $80, but you've gotta convince me that it isn't damaged from your running it on a crappy walmart amp. Capish

THOMAS2

I WOULD BE INTERSESTED IN YOUR SUB.EMAIL ME @ THOMAS2@YADTEL.NET WITH POSIBLY A PHONE # TO CONTACT YOU AT!!!

polkaudiosupra101

if you read the first few messages you will discover that i am not selling a used sub but a brand new gnx124 subwoofer that includes insurance that is good for the next 20 months at any circuit city. if you have any questions please respond to this message or email me at frwhtresn@aol.com thank you,


scott

You are right. Ignorant people do suck and can't spell words, either.

i have 4 gnx 124's in power acustic home speaker boxes. they are bitchen when they are hooked up wright. ( 2700 watts of pure fisher audio ) its the only way to listen to them. i will sell the hole system for $3000. if you are interested e_mail me at lil_dork99@yahoo.com. sorry for the spelling im not that good at it.


peace, alan:D

Why do car audio people always quote the peak power? My system has 10,000 watts, with 44% THD at 1khz!! Yea man, awesome...

goingganzo

hey i am not a good speller but i am informed. and seccond some people dont know what things are i had a good laff at this thread.but i will lay it down for the lay peeps.
sub is rated in ohms
amp has peak power and rms witch is .707 of peak and it ialso has average wotch is .6 something it has ben a long time sence i had my classes on this.

a sub is rated in thermal power with is the power it can run off of and not over heat. with is in rms. but that is not the same as the power it takes to botom out the sub.

now the box will dertermane how much power a sub can handle befor botoming out.

because it looks more impressive that way. Plus, I love kids spatting off about knowledge that they obviously have no clue about. Everything from 4 ohm subs handling 2 ohm loads (hahaha), Pyramid amps pushing 800w (not even if it was struck by lightning), to a fisher home amp pushing 2700w (that has to be the absolute most efficient amp ever created). Oh well, I bet if you hooked it up to my ****, it'd still hammer. My butt has mad power!!!
