3200 is perfectly fine

Why would you stick with that? please explain, theres vids of them taking 10k fine, and i personally know of one being ran on a test tone for 8 hours off 8k.
So please tell me, why would you stick with 2k.

And yes i have heard MT's get sloppy.

this is 10k on one

better for daily driving at 2000 watts yes the xxx is better. i am sure that they would not reccommend someone overpowering there speaker that is rated at 2000 400 more

They are the ones who told me that my 3200 would be a good amp for their sub.

i will step down. but i saw a picture of what a xxx coil looks like after taking two of the planet audio amps on one sub......it was not that golden brown... it was that black coffee no sugar no cream

ive seen that sub in person, and heard it. You cant even tell a difference in the sound of it with the "black' voice coil. But 8k watts on a sub doing a test tone for 8+hours isnt exactly normal use.

That sub you speak of was basically a sub RE gave to Superior Stereo and told them to blow it, do whatever they may with it to see how much it could take.

dude when a coil is black it is real close to being burned correct? if it keeps getting the same power that is was getting to turn it black don't you think it will blow eventually???? therefore it will NOT take 2 of those amps daily fine,

not to compare apples to oranges but

i but an 04 xxx on my orion 2500d at 1 ohm and it eventually burned up..

some thing with a mt at .5 on the orion, coil looked the same. with everything equal

um an 05 XXX and 06 XXX are totally different as you know.

Im sure it would blow, but as i said 8kwatts for 8 hours isnt what normal activity is, and I run 3200 on my 06 all the time no problems at all. i listen to all hip hop with an occasional classic rock with dad is riding with me. My Coils look exactly the same as it ddi right out the box.

what you said abotu the box determining the sound is true to a point, but subs are engineered for different jobs, and the fact of our discussion is that the XXX is a SQL driver and the MT is a SPL driver.

got ya...

i have heard alot of bullshit and it trains you to believe non of what you read....

how do you power a speaker with 8000 for 8 hours?????

 

[Lil_KB 10+ year member]

Ok, back to the topic.

Would I be better off with 2 12"s? Or one 15" or 18"?

 

[TwistedMovistar 10+ year member]

well that depends on you,

you have to consider the following

is weight important

money, space , do you have enough to power them?????

 

[90accordman 5,000+ posts]

Powering one XXX is enough stress on a electrical system so when you make your choice be aware that you will be killing that charging/electrical system running the wattage needed

 

[Lil_KB 10+ year member]

I might actually just go with one 12". That would still **** my 2 12" Rs wouldn't it?

some1 mentioned a tc3k sub...i wouldnt do it with that particular sub

the tc 5200 would be your best best for the power u have

it gets ungodly loud and in the right box can display accurate bass
