160 watts enough for E8?

[Bassin Buick]

so i'm getting a USX-4065 from a buddy who owes me money. Will it's 160x2 be sufficient for 2 E8's?

also will 2 E8's on 320 watts ported be enough to keep up with 2 8" Silver Flutes On 120 Each And 4 Vifa XT25's on 45 watts each? Going in a standard cab '85 F-150.

Although it may not do it full justice, just make sure to put them in a significantly smaller box to boost power and output efficiency

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Don't listen to this. Its *** backwards.

Bigger box increases efficiency.

I thought you increase the box size to increase efficiency?

I thought it was bigger box when under powering, smaller box when you have more power?

Id think ~300 would be ok for two of them.

Whoops. My bad. I had a late night and morning. Threw up something I didnt recognize around 9 a.m. Had to two a couple Ambiens around noon. Sick as a dog.

Bigger box = need more power

Smaller box = less power needed

Someone hit me over the head. Im going back go bed.

Sorry you had a rough night!

But quickly, the smaller the enclosure, the more power can be handled and visa versa.

Smaller enclosures aid in mechanical capabilities. Larger enclosures tend to be more efficient, at the expense of mechanical handling potential.
