[QUOTE="cotjones, post: 3169938, member: 573988"] you gotta be careful... as far as thermal handling yes it should be fine with 1000 watts, but look out for mechanical handling... in the spec sheet the sub has a min./max. enclosure recommendation... the sub is designed to handle more toward 1000 watts at the minimum enclosure size.... but at the maximum enclosure size 500 watts is getting risky... i know because i had a friend with 2 12'' type-x's in a box close to the maximum range and he tore his "beefy" spiders to shreds with under 750 watts and well under an hour! so don't just go throwing a stack of watts at it without considering enclosure type and size... they are equally as important as motor strength [/QUOTE]
