An amp can only put out so much power without distortion. A speaker, say, a subwoofer, will utilize whatever the amp is able to put out. So the question is not will a speaker fry an amp, but whether the amp will blow the speaker. (Not, in your example)

Any speaker, though, needs a certain amount of power to begin to drive it to listenable levels. High-efficiency speakers like bass-reflex speakers need only 5 or 10 watts for loud levels, while a low-efficiency speaker may not even make a squeek until they are fed with 10 to 15 watts of power.

sO will this set up work or not?

Will a 1600 watt amp blow a 450 watt sub woofer?

Well, it depends. When you look at subwoofers, it will say RMS and peak. Now, let's talk about the "RMS" and "peak" on the subwoofer. The RMS is the real power. That's what were gonna be looking for. The RMS is the continuous power design for the subwoofer to operate. The peak is the maximum power the subwoofer can handle. Obviously, were not gonna be running the subwoofer with its peak power because that will decrease the life of your subwoofer. Running too much power or too little can damage your subwoofer. It's also important to run it by it's RMS rating. So, I don't know if that 450 watt is the RMS or peak. I'm assuming that it's the RMS. As long as you don't bridge it, it should be fine.

Can you use car subwoofer with your home stereo?

You need to make sure the impedance matches or you will blow you amplifier! It would be best to replace it with the same brand as the speakers, feed it with a digital cable. There won't be a problem of overloading your amplifier.


What will happen if you hook up a 2-Ohm Car Subwoofer to an 8-Ohm Home Receiver I have a Kicker Comp 12 2-Ohm Subwoofer so I was wondering if I could hook it up to my 8-Ohm Home Receiver HELP?

If your home receiver is not rated for a 2-ohm load (many can handle a 4-ohm, but not a 2-ohm), you will damage components inside the amplifier by over-current. Don't use car stereo components in home stereo equipment. It's like using a hockey helmet to ride a motorcycle.


Will a 1200 watt amplifier blow out a 1000 watt subwoofer?

Technically, yes. Practically, no. Amplifiers and speakers are rated by the maximum amount of power (and at what impedance) they can handle. A 1200 watt amplifier will eventually destroy a 1000 watt speaker if it is operated at maximum power. In normal use, however, you rarely even get close to maximum rating.
