I have been a bit slow on posting reviews of the last couple of Watt Pro, but it is time to catch up
How many watts does a ATI x1950 pro need?
Ok, so i opened my computer case and checked the wattage of the power supply, it said maximum watt: 300 wattsIs that enough for a ATI X1950 PRO graphics card?My computer has the folowing:AMD athlon 64 3700+ Watt Pro processorcd/dvd drive2 gig memory 200GB Hard drive2 USB drives Is it possible that if i buy the ATI radeon x1950 pro and put it in my computer the motherboard fries up?Ok, if i have to buy a new power supply, is a 450 watt a good one for the job? thanks and please answer with many details. Thanks for ur timeand if the power supply dies can it affect the whole computer or motherboard?I know that my computer wotn turn on but will it break my other computer parts or only the power supply????

It’s “Prosource”, but although lots of places sell them, I can’t find a company by that name. Probably some Chinese company uses this as a tradename. .
You’re supposed to match the RMS from 100 percent to 150 percent…Meaning your amp should have 600 to 900 watts RMS…I would recommend the Kicker ZX750.1, it will put you at 750 watts which is right in the middle…I recommend trying to find it on ebay or maybe the same place you bought your speaker from…I’m giving you a link showing it…If you under power the speakers using less than 600 watts you will burn the coils and wear out your speakers.
Yes, it uses an ATX psu.

considering your config and assuming you want to play games, you should get yourself @ least a 500W or even a 550W PSU.the 300W PSU may indeed not allow the PC to start up, as the startup is the point where ALL divices are powered up, requiring most Wattsif you can power up, nothing will fry.just when playing (thus video card needing a lot of pwr and not getting it) your PC may reboot abruptly. there won’t be any direct damage, but you may lose data, due to the Windows/OS crash.nothing will get damaged by too weak a PSU, but your system will be unstable, if it runs at all.
It will be fine,the amp will give enough power to operate those subs.
Their are too many variables to discuss. IE. Type of boat, Do you have all the hardware?, etc.You should have instructions with the radio!
i would say about 500watts RMS X 1 @ 2ohms because it has two 35amp fusesits far from CEA-compliant so it does not put out its advertised RMS wattage and the wattage it does put out is more than likely going to be distorted and distortion over time is the main cause of speaker damage
An amp can deliver rated power at some rated distortion level into some defined impedance. Technical Pro rate their amps as total peak power. Their “4100 watt” amp, for example (link 1), is rated as 2×670 watts (rms) @ 4 ohms (or 355 watts @ 8 ohms)… a lot less than 4100 watts! The distortion level for their amps are not listed though, and many mediocre amps are power rated at higher distortion levels than quality amps, so it’s possible these amps would be even lower power rated by some companies.You say you are wanting to drive 15″ 4 ohm subwoofers. Many subs have their own amps, but certainly an external amp isn’t unusual. And a powered subs in addition to a main amp for the main speakers is common. You don’t state what your intent is here though.That said, the 1500 watt rating (likely peak, not RMS power) on the speakers is the maximum power the speakers can handle, NOT the amount of power they require. It is better to have too much power than not enough.The amp and speakers should work fine together since the amp and speakers are both rated for 4 ohms. That said, there won’t be any leftover watts. The loudness of the speakers (and the amount of power used to drive them at that level) will be dependent on the volume setting. It could be that you will use 2-10 watts for a reasonable loudness (hard to say since efficiency of speakers varies widely). Keep in mind that loudness is not linearly related to power. See the 2nd link for a discussion. Bottom line is that it takes thousands of times the power to increase loudness by as little as 10-15X. So at all but the loudest setting you will be using MUCH less than full power.Note that Technical Pro is exactly that … a professional amp. While it can be used at home it is more normal for more professional use. Stability and robustness may take precedence to strict audio quality. Hope that helps.
This is variable.It all depends on how loud you are playing things and how much low-frequency is involved and how efficient your speakers are.Power and sound is Non-linear.To increase the sound by 1 db – you have to double the power.And it takes more power to create sound under 100 hz than it does at 5,000 hz. (This is why we have self-powered subwoofers).So there is no easy way to answer this question.
The OCZ will work in your system. Your HP uses an ATX power supply and the OCZ is ATX. Here’s a link for an outfit that sells replacement psu’s (junk), but the replacement for your system is an ATX psu. Your system is the 7th from the last in the HP Pavilion section.http://www.atxpowersupplies.com/300-watt-power-supply-fsp-atx-300-gu.phpThe dimensions for the OCZ are 5.9″ x 3.4″ x 6.5″.
