Can I use this to power a powered subwoofer at 50 watts? it is

The subwoofer/speaker may be rated at 50 watts out, but how much power is required by the amp that is built into the unit? There should be some kind of manufacturer's plate on the unit. While the car motor is running this unit will delivery a maximum of 1.6 amps so anything rated over 1.4 amps continuous load should not be used with this device.

Sorry, I used an amp to run my subwoofer, I have a pioneer 1200watt subwoofer, so i didnt want to use only the pioneer deck. i know this does not help you, but i use the deck alone to power my door speakers and they work great.

I am not totally sure. I know that when I bought this product i was trying to use it on my Yamaha reciver to connect my unpowered subwoofer and this did not work. I returned it with no problems.

It has 2 higher outputs more for subwoofers and then 4 lower outputs mainly for speakers. So it would work as long as your speakers are rated high enough to handle the watts for the 2 higher outputs.

Hello. Yes, this amplifier will power your subwoofers. To extend the life of your amplifier, we recommend tuning this amp to ensure that the output signal is clean and is not clipping. Some people tune by ear, but this is not accurate. If you do not have the proper tools, we recommend taking this amplifier to a professional car stereo shop to install or tune the system.

No this is subwoofer and box only. You will need to buy an amp, and power for this subwoofer is 125 watts rms any more than that and you risk damaging the speaker.

I don't think you can. I did hook up a non-powered subwoofer with an old amp but was never really happy with the sound. This Onkyo receiver has very poor bass response in my opinion. Sorry I am no help.

No absolutely not. Not even sure how you would do that. First off, This amp is not that good. No where near its rated power.

Hello Lou,I would say yes, you can. But check the following. Transformer,to make sure you have enough power ,light housing, having enough room, in which the 50 watt is a bit bigger,and get a little warmer.

I'm sure it would work, but why? you have to worry about the wattage of the signal going in and then you have to convert your AC to DC to power this unit. Better off buying or building a sub that can take the high power speaker input rather than line inputs.

I smaller amp one with about 500-700 watts rms. this sub I believe can not handle the told watts.

this will work if the sub can handle the power at 4 ohms: 150 watts x 1 chan. 2 ohms: 300 watts x 1 chan.

The specs for this amp indicate 40 watts of power for each channel....so I believe it would be within your speakers' parameter.

Amplifier ratings can be misleading and many are rated at much higher output than they actually produce in practical applications. This subwoofer can handle 500 watts continuous and 1000 watts peak. It will work fine with this amp as long as it is not over-driven.
