to be honest .with u..i would put 500watts to each 12....if u really want it to shine...it likes power...i have one 10w3(the old version) on 600watts and it loves it..had it like that for 3years now and it never gave me a problem....so my advise to u..get a orion 1200d..and watch your gains...and depending on your box..u should be knocking

**** u were runnin 600 to it adn it never blew

**** thats good i got like maybe 450 goin to mine now it sounds real nice never gets distorted, any ideas where to get a ported box

i would advise against getting a 1200D for them. not only is that a significant amount of power over RMS, but Orions are underrated, so youll get more than 1200w. i say its too risky

i sure did and it didnt skip a beat...no voice coil smell..or any sign of stress

u just have to watch your gaind and send it clean power

as far as a box..i recommend making your own...i'll design on for u..but u have to make your own....or have have someone make it for u..i can reffer u to some people that make pretty good boxes

your right about orion being underated...but to be honest..u have to consider box imp rise and that plays a role as well

yeah, but its such a minimal rise. i still wouldnt do it

why?

u would do it becuz of thermal reasons or mechanical reasons

keep in mind we dont know his electrical system....

we dont know if he has a extra batt or if he did the big 3 or even a ho alt!

the elect. is stock im prob gonna be gettin a extra batt. or prob a nice size capaciter or howeer u spell it, so wuts the story on the amp

 

[80INCHES 5,000+ posts]

what ohms r the subs anyway?

and i would still get the orion 1200..but if u feel that its to much power get a hifonics bx1205 its overrated...lol

i dont know how durable those subs are, but id hafta say both. i dont think they could handle 600+ w each
