Can someone give me a link to the BIG 3 , When I'm finally going to get around to doing it , I can't find it.

I was using a Visonik 1200w @ 1 ohm (Can't remember the model), it worked well but when I purchased my current Memphis amp, I have to say that the Visonik was overrated on its power capabilites. My brother has three 12" Visonik subs currently running only 2 with an 800w model Visonik amp and it...

Is adding a set of tweets when I am using Coaxials a bad choice?

I have the TS D160R (2004 Models) and I think they are great. The Highs are very clear and in the proper install the midbass is excellent . The key to making these work well for you is the proper amount of power . I am currently using the Pioneer GM 4000F briged to provide 70 watts RMS .

I have 2 Memphis PR-124D 12" inch DVC rated at 250 RMS , my question is in building a new box I was out getting ideas and I told a local dealer that the specs recommend 1.25 cuft for a sealed enclosure , he said that it is too much and that 1 cuft is plenty , does anyone else agree or should I...

I am getting ready to have my first experience with a 1 ohm load , some of the threads I have read mention that running 1 ohm creates distortion is this going to be noticeable to my ear , I am going to be running with gains turned down because I don't need all the power that the amp is capable...

it doesn't do anything for sound?

What is the best material for damping the inside of a sealed enclosure?

For clarification , this amp is monoblock, at 1ohm it puts out 800w rms and 1200w max the 4ohm DVC subs call for 250w rms and 500w max , I have 2 and I plan to wire them in parallel. I only ask again because the first reply to my original Q does not make sense so it confuses me about the second...

I have 2 memphis PR-124D 12" 4ohm DVC and I have a Visonik V2118 Mono block amp. The subs are rated at 250rms . Specs on the amp say that it is capable of putting out 800w rms at 1 ohm . I do not intend to push these subs to the max by any means. Some threads I have read state that it is better...

Is a subwoofer with dual 4 ohm voice coils , the same as a single 8 ohm voice coil. I guess I'm confused on this simple concept

Are there downsides to using a mono amp when powering two subs, especially in a SQL setup.

So in other words I am Crazy, Maybe I am stupi for asking this one is there a way (multimeter) to test how much power a sub is recieving?

I have two subs 4ohm DVC 250w Rms 500w max , I would like to use a monoblock 1200w amp that if I wire the speakers in 4ohm it will produce 400w Rms 600w max. with the subs in parallel how much of 400w is each sub going to recieve , maybe I am crazy but it does not divide power evenly does it?

thats the answer I didn't want but thanks for breaking my spirit, back to the drawing table I go.
