I have a JL Audio speaker that can handle 300w Rms, My amp only puts out 250Rms. Will it still sound good?
It says that 300w rms is optimum for the speaker. But i have heard that it can handle up to 500 rms is this true. Shoul I get a new amp that has more Rms power? Will it make that much a difference say if i went from 250 RMS to 300-500 RMS will it be noticably louder? By the way the speaker is a JL 12" W3 4 ohm.
It will be fine if you gave it a little bit less power. There is a noticable difference between 300w and 500w but that doesn't mean that 300w will sound bad.
Subs don't really have a specific rms wattage that you can't go above or below. The rms power rating is just used to give you an idea of how much power to give the sub. JL actially has a chart that shows the recommended powering values to give each sub. The link is here: http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_subs_pages.php?page_id=35
It is also possible that the person saying that they give their sub 500w rms was using an amp that was overrated. This may lead them to believe that they were giving it 500w rms but they were actually giving it around 200-300w. Just stay within the range JL recommends and it will be fine. Good Luck!!
