12" sub that takes 1500 watts

Solo X maybe:? 1500 watts should be sufficient enough right?

SPL oriented... what about Solo X:

not enough power, would need like twice that.

you could get the bigger one incase you ever wanted to upgrade you amp

I may go with the Pioneer 5102 series then. Perhaps just one and run 2 amps for one sub. I already have the amp and it works well so I don't want to sell it. I want to work with what I have, ya know.

my RE HC12 [ 2002 year ] takes 1200 RMS...but would probably be hard to find one.

Has anyone used the MMATS Juggernaut. Box reccomendation is a little big for my liking but it may work.

supposed to be a good sub, never used it though

I guess I'm the only one...W12GTi

Why not go with the 1000watt rms sub, and keep your gains down? I am still not sure what the deal is using so much power for a speaker. I had a 10 sub in my truck and powered it with a measly 150 watts and it shook the hell out of my truck. I even put a 600 watt jbl amp to it a couple of days before I sold my truck to see if it would have mad a difference, and to tell you the truth, it was not that much louder. I guess saying I have 1500 watts is cooler than saying i have 300 watts.

That's a JBL product IIRC....wonder who sells it.

700 watts RMS...run into the same problem as the pioneer(1000/3000).

Thanks

No you won't run into problems. JBL has a van with (4) A6000GTi's on (4) W15GTi (the 15's are rated 800rms and are taking well over 5KW). I've been in that van. Its here local. I used to run a W10GTi off my 601.1. All I can say is sounded **** good but I know it wanted more around 1200W.

You could give that W12GTi 2000W with the right enclosure and you are set.

Good point....very good point. I mostly wanted to use my amp to its "potential". In reality your post makes good sense and it allows me to stay pioneer....

This still sucks there is no 1500 RMS sub though.

It says 700 in the ad and on the manufacturer's website.
