Quick question I 'm thinking about running 8 or 6 of the cw massive 12's and was wondering what is the lowest the 8 12's and also the 6 12's be wired down to as far as ohms. They come dual 4 and 2.5 voice coil. And would the stetsom 2 6kd be good enough to run the eight. I know it should be able to handle the 6 thats only 3600 rms. Thank you

 
whoa. cw ftw!! those subs could take a 1000 watts a piece all day. you goin ported or sealed? gotta put up a build log when you start the build. good luck.

 
If you wired each of the 8 subs in series first then wired them parallel you would get it down to 1ohm..wireing all 8 in parallel would be a .25 ohm load.Doing each of the 6 subs in series first then paralleling them first would get you 1.66 ohm and all six in parallel would get ya about .33 ohm.

Agreed. If it will be used daily. 8 with the 1 ohm vs 6 with 1.33 ohm prob would be give or take 30 percent louder. Depending on box variance size and tuning

 
In same airspace . Depending on how restrictive this can be true. But should give a more smooth freq response for daily
what?

whenever you are answering, if you think you're being too specific, add even more detail, cause this still makes no sense

 
id do 6. 8 is a over kill and wont probebly be that loud compared to 6 because it blocks all the space.
What the hell are you talking about? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif Please refrain from talking about a subject you obviously know nothing about. Blocks all the space.. what does that ven mean.

Anyway, go with the 8 If you have the room. It will be louder, bigger wow factor, and go big or go home right?
