Considering what they are you should be fine, just make sure you do not use the bass boost and you have your gain turned all the way down adjust your gain from there you should not be using any type of bass boost through your head unit, basically you want to start with the least amount of power your amp can put out before you hit the max out so you don't hurt your speakers be sure to listen for clipping or bottoming out

Depends on how the ratings are expressed - whether RMS or peak music power. If the amp is rated at 4500 peak and the speakers 3000 RMS there will be a safety margin for the speakers. If they are both rated either RMS or peak those very expensive speakers are likely to be damaged if the amp is turned up high.

SOURCE: alpine amp and subs questions

it will depend on how you use the 2 alpine subs,, do you know what there individual impedance is [ ohms ] and how you intend on wiring them,,,in series, in parallel, in any case you must maintain the min load in order to load the amplifier properly,,,otherwise the amplifier will operate improperly and allow DC [ direct current ] to pass and fry your subs...so what I really need is more in formation

SOURCE: kicker 8 inch 4 ohm subwoofer 200 watts rms?

Max 200 W. You could bridge 2 channels of a 4 channel amp (or get a 2 ch amp and bridge it) and connect the sub. Bridging = connect + of sub to + of one channel, and connect - of sub to - of *other* channel. Check amp manual for instructions.

Don't get a mono - most are 300W or more - might burn the coil during loud passages.

Is my 1ohm 1 channel monoblock 4500 watts quantum amplifier to strong for my 3000 watts quantum subwoofers

If you are experiencing chirping or bottoming out the problem is you probably have your bass boost turned all the way up, your frequency responses probably turned all the way up, the speakers may not be able to handle that low of a Hertz, basically anytime you turn everything up on your amp you're going to get more and more disturbance this is most likely what you are hearing if you turn your bass boost down and turn your gain all the way down and the problem stops then this will be your solution, and it is an easy fix all you have to do is keep turning up your gain until you start noticing the Distortion then dial it back 10% you should never use bass boost on an amp it destroys the amp and definitely destroys the speakers

How many RMS does the quantum 4500 watts peak 1 Chanel 1ohm amplifier have

Generally a peek rating is twice the RMS sometimes it's twice the RMS + 10% they do this to make a sale seem a lot better like you're getting a really good deal, that being said the RMS at 1 ohm is 2250 unfortunately this is not a cea certified product so more realistically it's probably closer to 15 to 1800 watts

Purchased "Reliance Lowboy electric water heater"

The water heater has two 4500 watt elements.
However both elements are not turned-ON at same time
So the water heater is 4500 Watts

Volts x Amps = watts
Amps =watts divided by volts
Amps = 4500 Watts divided by 240 Volts
Amps= 18.75

So that says a 20 amp breaker ... except for the 80% rule
80% rules says for safety, your Amp rating should be multiplied by 80%

20 amp breaker X 80% = 16 amps
20 amp breaker is actually safe for just 16 amps, and your water heater draws 18.75 amps.

The calculation shows you need a 30 Amp breaker.
30 Amp breaker requires 10 gauge wire.
