There is no such thing as a watt amp.
To determine wire size you need to know the current. Watts = Current x Voltage, so if you know the applied voltage to the load that consumes 300 watts you can get the answer. If we assume 120 volts as standard home voltage then current is 25 amps. If you had 240 volts it would be 12.5 amps.
In general 14 AWG is 15 Amps
12 AWG is 20 Amps
10 AWG is 30 Amps
Using a 3000 watt amp with a 300 watt speaker can potentially damage the speaker due to overpowering it. The excessive power can cause the speaker to blow out or distort the sound quality. It's important to match the power ratings of the amp and speaker to prevent damage.
No, that's just the maximum capacity of the speakers. You can always run them at less than their maximum rating.
Yes, a 1200 watt amp can power a 300 watt box. The wattage of the amp refers to its maximum power output, so it can deliver up to 1200 watts if needed. As long as the amp is set up properly and not pushed to its maximum capacity, it can safely power a 300 watt box.
They can be as loud, as the amp is not delivering 600 watts. The 10" sub rated at 600 watts is able to withstand more power.
I am not a sound man but an electrician. But as I understand it, speakers only receive power. So if you connect 300 watt speakers to a 250 watt amp, you can only get 250 watts out of the speakers. If this understanding is correct, this could not blow your amp. I might say, however, that in most things electrical, they are not intended to be used at maximum output for very long. So if this understanding stays true with sound equipment, then running your 250 watt amp at maximum output in an attempt to get 300 watts out of it, this could shorten the life of your amp even though you never actually overload it.
It's actually a good idea to have a speaker that can handle higher wattage than the amp can produce.
on a 4000 watt amp the best gauge wire woul be between 2 and 0
Speakers can be blown if the wrong power amplifier is used and damage can be done by either overpowering or underpowering the amp. For example, if the power rating of the speaker is 300 watts capacity you will need a 300- to 600-watt amp.
sure you can, your amp will only deliver 52 watts to the speaker, more importend would be the impedance of the speaker . it should be equal to what your amp has! may be 8 ohms
This is determined by how you wire your subs to your amp. If you get an amp that's bridgeable to mono, then you can wire your subs in series. You will get much more thump if you do it this way. However, make certain that your amp is bridgeable, and stable down to 2 or even 1 Ohms. Check with the dealer you buy from. When wired the way I mentioned, a 300-Watt amp will probably do nicely!
You could go with a 600 watt 2 ch amp or a 300 watt mono block amp, depends on what OHM the subs are, if they are 8 ohm you could wire them down to 4 ohm or if they 4 ohm u could wire them to 2 ohm, i have a 600.1 Boss amp and subs are wired together at 2 ohm and they BANG.
