The volume and gain knobs are what do it.
There is no power coming out of a 3500W amp when the volume is low.

That 3500W is like 5 hoursepower, so I doubt you need much more.
How loud does it go?

 

Oh yeah idk y I didn’t think of that. I haven’t installed yet. I’m getting 2000 watt amp with it and planned on upgrading when I get the money. With a more powerful amp than the sub can handle is there a way to know when I would be pushing it too much?

 

What amp is it? There are many over-stated amps out there.

 

Skar Audio RP-2000.1D Class D Monoblock Car Subwoofer Amplifier

 

My advice is to either use th 2kw amp and enjoy it at reasonable level, or do the alternator and a stack of batteries, etc.

Doing some interim aproach and upgrading alter (when you have more money) will just gobble up more money.

A 2kW amp is not a week amplifier... it should be more than enough for most people not competing for ear bleeding power.
Or save up if you feel you really want the whole 3500w.

Of course ^this^ is all just opinion...

 

The one I plan to upgrade to is the Skar Audio RP-3500.1D Monoblock Car Subwoofer Amplifier

 

Do you have electrical to support the 2000 watt amp?

 

Yeah 1/0 gauge

 

No, I think he means like Allternator, batteries etc.

 

Oh I wouldn’t know. The battery is not stock and is larger than the stock battery. The alternator is stock. Probably 90 amp

 

You need some serious juice to get 3500 watts from your vehicles electrical system and that’s not even including front stage amplifier

Let’s just for arguments sake say you have a 3500w sub amp and a 300w front stage amp, you will need about 360 amps at full tilt

 

320 amp alt and 2-3agms to pull 3500 without moving voltage.

Not much good if the system is enough to stall out the car its in.

 

I should be good on a 90 amp alternator and stock battery for a 2k watt amplifier?

 

Nope.
