it wasn't the users fault the sub could'nt take near 5kw before breaking.. it probably failed at 2kw, I have a strapped pair of amps and mine didn't get to a 150 before it blew either...

but then again, I don't meter anywhere but the dash with the car closed.... what kind of numbers do you do like that?

Tommy was making statement that with the equipment used...in the car it was used in, and the position of the mic. That it should of EASILY done a 50 on the floor...and possibly a 50 on the dash. Even if the gains were set and it was only getting 1500w a 150 would still be more than atainable.

Just saying, I expect more sometimes...along with tommy.

Dave said the box was tuned to ~32hz...that would have ALOT to do w/ it not hitting 150+.

tuned to 32 hz sure, but where did it PEAK at? That's the real question.

Plus it is a dual 4 ...not a dual 2 so it was only at 2ohm mono...am Atomic 5000.1 does its power at 1 ohm mono...I was guessing about 2000 rms at 2ohms...plus it was tuned at 32hz....

Ok, like i posted above.....

Tuning frequency does not always equal PEAK frequency. What frequency did it PEAK at? Obviously you know this since you were taking max SPL readings.

I was doing averages with it playing music...I wasn't running test tones

You should still know what frequency you peaked at. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

And my car has lots of Dynamat...200+ sq feet...so It don't get as loud as most rex's and doesn't peak the same as most....But I don't have lots of rattles either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
