My abc boxes always lowered powerhandeling. But I built them big. I see nothing about the design that would raise powerhandling.

Anyway they'll be fine off 1500. Especially a sundown 1500.

sweet thanks

i have them off a memphis 16-1500d at 750 at 4 ohm right now(i know ghey right)

you have a used sundown by chance? help for a local ?

Nope, nothing around. Any specs on box?

not really just know it slams the 8's. i think he said it tuned to 22 and 82 for a cabin gain of 33? dont really know sorry. if you want to check it out let me know

You have any specs on that box or can point us to who built it or has them. I was always told having woofers firing in different directions caused issues. Cool looking box anyway.

It can increase mechanical handling because of the two tuning points both causing a null in excursion at those points. It doesn't really change thermal power handling though.

hey, i know the dude that built that box. It used to be in a yaris.

why not 1 ohm? not stable?

Yes, stable, but not rated @ 1 ohm.. and would be giving waaaaaaaay too much power for the 8s.

ya but 800 would be fine.. he can turn the gain down..

I gave 2 1700-1800w rms. Don't be afraid.

not thermally made to handle it.. They will do fine for a while but WILL burn up.. I think the highest recommended for em is 5-600 TOPSS

You have it backwards. Thermally it can, mechanically it cannot. Idk how me stating I have done it can be responded with it cannot take it though.
