[QUOTE="cotjones, post: 3170892, member: 573988"] exactly! you said it was a ported enclosure seeing the full power of a pdx1.1000 #1 it's ported increasing efficiency, and decreasing the cone movement to output ratio... making it handle more power mechanically, in which case 1000 watts should be just fine... #2 you are rarely going to see a full 1000 watts from those amps... esspecially with 2 of them in the car, if there are no electrical upgrades even with the gains set really high, they just don't put out 1000 every minute my friend i spoke of had his in a sealed box around 3 cubes... 1 cube over the max. recommended and had been told the same thing you said... "they are efficiency nightmares so give em 1000.." doing so pushed them into mechanical faliure... so in that instance a faulty enclousure was obviously to blame but the point of my post was that subs handle different amounts of power in different enclosures... don't just go throwing 1000 watts out them without considering all factors... in other words "don't be stupid" [/QUOTE]
