Who Should Use This Calculator?

• Car Audio Installers: Professionals who install car audio systems must ensure the correct amplifier is paired with subwoofers for optimal performance.
• Home Theater Enthusiasts: Individuals setting up home theater systems who want to correctly match their subwoofer and amplifier.
• Audio Enthusiasts: Anyone interested in building or upgrading their audio systems with precise components.

How to Use the Subwoofer Amp Calculator

1. Prepare Your Subwoofer Specifications:
   • Impedance (Ohms): This is the electrical resistance of your subwoofer, usually specified in the subwoofer’s manual or on the back of the unit. Common values are 2, 4, or 8 ohms.
   • Power (Watts): This is the power rating of your subwoofer, also found in the subwoofer’s specifications. It indicates the maximum power the subwoofer can handle.
2. Open the Calculator:
   • Open the HTML file containing the Subwoofer Amp Calculator in your web browser.
3. Enter the Specifications:
   • Impedance: In the first input field labeled “Impedance (Ohms),” enter the impedance value (in ohms).
   • Power: In the second input field labeled “Power (Watts),” enter the power value (in watts).
4. Calculate the Required Amplifier Power:
   • Click the “Calculate” button.
   • The calculator will display the required amplifier power in watts in the “Required Amp Power” section.
5. Interpreting the Results:
   • The displayed value is the power (in watts) your amplifier should provide to match your subwoofer’s specifications.
   • Ensure your amplifier can deliver at least this power output to avoid underpowering or overpowering your subwoofer.

Example

Let’s say you have a subwoofer with an impedance of 4 ohms and a power rating of 100 watts:

• Enter 4 in the “Impedance (Ohms)” field.
• Enter 100 in the “Power (Watts)” field.
• Click “Calculate”.
• The calculator will show the required amplifier power as approximately. 20 Watts.

This means your amplifier should be able to provide at least 20 watts to match your subwoofer’s specifications.

Conclusion

Using the Subwoofer Amp Calculator ensures that your audio system components are properly matched, providing your equipment with the best performance and longevity. Proper pairing of subwoofers and amplifiers prevents damage and ensures optimal sound quality.

Feel free to use the calculator when setting up a new system or upgrading an existing one. Happy listening!
