Can you power one 12 inch sub and two 8 inch subs with one 1600watt mono amp?

That depends on the power ratings of the subs.

previous, prior, initially, before, etc.
What is hardcoded subs?
They Are exactly what you think they are. They are termed "hardcoded" because there is no option to remove them.
You have an Alpine type X 1243D subwoofer you are trying to decide if running it at a 2ohm load at max power or a 4ohm load at two thirds of its power range will work better?
Multiple subs wired together must be the same coil type and impedance. If they’re not, the power won’t divide evenly between them, and some subs would probably be over-powered while others get under-powered. If you want to run different types of subs in a system, each type needs to have its own separate amp. Then, multiply the number of subs you have by the RMS rating of each, to get their total RMS rating. You want to make sure the amp you choose will supply no more than the sub system’s total RMS rating. Figure out the possible total impedance(s) that the subs can be wired together to form. (SVC = single voice coil, 1 pair of terminals; DVC = dual voice coil, 2 pairs of terminals.) 1 SVC 2-ohms can only have 2 ohms of impedance 1 SVC 4-ohms can only have 4 ohms of impedance 1 DVC 2-ohms can have 1 ohm or 4 ohms of impedance 1 DVC 4-ohms can have 2 ohms or 8 ohms of impedance 2 SVC 2-ohms can have 1 ohm or 4 ohms of impedance 2 SVC 4-ohms can have 2 ohms or 8 ohms of impedance 2 DVC 2-ohms can have 2 ohms or 8 ohms of impedance 2 DVC 4-ohms can have 1 ohm or 4 ohms of impedance 3 SVC 2-ohms can have 6 ohms of impedance 3 SVC 4-ohms can have 1.3 ohms of impedance 3 DVC 2-ohms can have 1.3 ohms or 3 ohms of impedance 3 DVC 4-ohms can have 2.7 ohms or 6 ohms of impedance 4 SVC 2-ohms can have 2 ohms or 8 ohms of impedance 4 SVC 4-ohms can have 1 ohm or 4 ohms of impedance 4 DVC 2-ohms can have 1 ohm or 4 ohms of impedance 4 DVC 4-ohms can have 2 ohms or 8 ohms of impedance Look for an amplifier that can put out power up to the RMS wattage at an impedance load the subs can be wired to form. 8 ohms — figure on the amp putting out half the power it would at 4 ohms 6 ohms — figure on the amp putting out three-quarters of the power it would at 4 ohms 3 ohms — figure on the amp putting out the average of what it would at 2 ohms and at 4 ohms 2.7 ohms — figure the same as for 3 ohms, and add a few watts 1.3 ohms — use the 1-ohm spec and take away a few watts Example: You have two Alpine S Series S-W8D4 8" subwoofers and you want the right amp for them. They are DVC 4-ohm subs rated at 300 watts RMS each. Two 300 watts RMS subs together need a maximum total of 600 watts RMS. Using the chart in Step 2, 2 DVC 4-ohm subs can be wired together to form a 1-ohm, a 4-ohm, or a 16-ohm load. The last is too high a load to be practical, so you’ll look for an amp that can put out up to 600 watts RMS into either a 4-ohm load, or a 1-ohm impedance load: up to 600 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms, or up to 600 watts RMS x 1 at 1 ohm Among Crutchfield’s selection of amplifiers you’ll find: Memphis Audio PRXA600.1 — 600 watts RMS x 1 at 1 ohm JL Audio JD1000/1 — 600 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms Kicker KEY500.1 — 500 watts RMS x 1 at 1 ohm Any one of these high-quality amplifiers would work well with those subs. It doesn’t matter which impedance an amp plays through — 600 watts RMS through a 4-ohm load produces the same volume as 600 watts RMS through a 1-ohm load. You have a Memphis Audio SRX500D.1 amplifier and you want it to drive two subwoofers The amp is capable of 350 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms and 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms. Let’s say you choose to maximize the amp’s potential and want the system to put out 500 watts RMS. This means your subs have to be wired to form a total impedance of 2 ohms. Two subs on a 500 watts RMS amp will want about 250 watts RMS each. So you’ll look for subs each rated for 250 watts RMS or more. Using the chart in Step 3, for two subwoofers, a final 2-ohm load can be achieved with either two SVC 4-ohm subs or two DVC 2-ohm subs. So, you’ll look for two subs that are either SVC 4-ohms or DVC 2-ohms, rated for at least 250 watts RMS each: 2 SVC 4-ohms, at least 250 watts RMS, or 2 DVC 2-ohms, at least 250 watts RMS Among Crutchfield’s selection of subwoofers you’ll find: You have a Memphis Audio SRX500D.1 amplifier and you want it to drive two subwoofers The amp is capable of 350 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms and 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms. Let’s say you choose to maximize the amp’s potential and want the system to put out 500 watts RMS. This means your subs have to be wired to form a total impedance of 2 ohms. Two subs on a 500 watts RMS amp will want about 250 watts RMS each. So you’ll look for subs each rated for 250 watts RMS or more.

How do you times a number by a percentage?
write that number as a fraction, then multiply it by the percentage over 100, eg10x50%==10/1x50/100=500/100=5by Subs
Stereo amp or mono amp for your sub?
Most preamps just have a mono output for a subwoofer. No real reason to run stereo for subs, unless maybe you are running two speaker boxes as subs. Most amps are switchable to mono mode and put out more power in mono. Hope this helps.
What do you need to power an 800watt mono amp and two 1000 12 subs without killing the battery?
A bigger alternator.
For your two 12 inch kicker cvt12 subs which put out 400 RMS each should you use a 750 watt or 1000 watt amp?
Did you get the 2 ohm or the 4ohm? I have a 750 mono on my single 4ohm and have no where near enough power.
How big of an amplifier do you need to power two fifteen inch subs?
Grace Loves Ryan
What is the largest subwoofer?
Well, 18 inch subs are the biggest among this moment. There are bigger subs out there over 18 inch.
What is the risk of putting 2 12 inch subs to a stock Bose system with stock amplifier?
your going to do alot of work and the results are going to be meager the stock amp won't have the power to run the subs properly. you my burn out the subs. you should get an amp which can power those 2 12 inchers
How do you wire 4 dual 4 ohm coils subs to one ohm mono?
If you wire all 4 coils parallel, you get 1 ohm (mono).
Can a use jbl gto 3501 amp for two pioneer 1000 watts woofers?
this monoblock amp is bridged internally. It can handle a minimum of 350w RMS one channel and a maximum of 700. I'd suggest letting a mono amp power a single sub for best results. But people do use it to power 2 10 inch subs as well.
What would be a good amp for 2 Hifonics BRZ12SQD4 subs?
a hifonics mono with the same or more rms
Can you hook up two subs to a mono channel amp?
yes all u have to do is bridge them together
What do you set your amp to for 2 12 subs?
to mono if your amp will allow, also this is for single voice coil. otherwise run in mono parallel to run dual voice coils.
Can two 12 alpine type e subs handle an alpine 450 watt mono amp?
yes
