Is a 1000w subwoofer good?
A 1,000-watt subwoofer doesn't have to play any louder than a 100-watt subwoofer. The watt rating is a rough guide to how loud a subwoofer might be able to play, but it doesn't have to be louder. You always control the volume. In fact, a 1,000-watt sub may sound better at "regular" room volumes than a 100-watt sub.
How do I know what size amp I need for my speakers?
Generally you should pick an amplifier that can deliver power equal to twice the speaker's program/continuous power rating. This means that a speaker with a “nominal impedance” of 8 ohms and a program rating of 350 watts will require an amplifier that can produce 700 watts into an 8 ohm load.
What size amp do I need for 300 watt speakers?
