Because the coils can take it thermally does NOT mean you need the power to get good output. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Not nessicarily. You could mechanically stress the driver. torn tensile leads and coils being snapped off of the cone are not covered under warranty just like burnt coils.

yeah, with 150 watts in alot of enclosures your going to be hitting xmax at 20hz. Any more power than that is just excessively heating the coils or pushing the suspension further than it likes.

so what power amp would u suggest, have u used these subs before?

I say get 350rms for each if u dont like the stress you see being put on them back off the gains a little......this way you will never wonder what 200 more watts would sound like

300 is perfect for me

 

[pitbull12888]

ill get 600-700 then any nice amps yall would reccomend with that power. has to look clean and professional

 

[PESteele 10+ year member]

price range. How about Pg x600.1

 

[DeuceLee 10+ year member]

i had 350-400 going into each, just make sure you're not distorting the crap out of them, etc...

just don't be stupid and you'll be fine...

but 300-350 each should be plenty...get them a nice ported box and you'll be smiling...

i sure was, especially since i got them at the initial sale //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
