you dont have enough power to run the RE

just barely enough power to run 1 cvx.... bottom line you need more power for either setup...

RE SE= 600 rms.

RE SE= 600 rms.

i do 900rms EACH on my 12's daily...subs are severly underated

also wasnt aware that the 12's and 15's do the same rms wattage...800rms might be ok for 1 15..as long as it is true 800rms

I doubt those subs get much louder past about 750 watts each. I'm going to run 1200 watts to my RE SEs so you won't see me making a thread about how they blew in 6 months, and I don't know why. Plus your amps are 750 watt amps, not 900 watts.

I've had both, went from 2 12" cvr's sealed to 1 15" RE SE sealed and tho the SE wasn't as loud it sounded better. Now that I built a new box for the SE, it's ported to around 38 hz, it's louder and sounds better than the cvr's did. Never got to do the cvr's ported tho...

cvrs ported are loud. I'm not a big kicker fan (at least of subs) but their cvrs get loud, especially being ported for just 400w.

have certification sheets that beg to differ...kicker amps are underated...both do 900rms thats why i bought them...

Most people think those birth sheets are bs, and if they are real it is at like 14 volts. Also, I have a kicker 1200.1, and those have birth sheets that say 1400-1500 watts, but I still say 1200 wattts.
