[QUOTE="big scott, post: 8337365, member: 660731"] [quote name='Jeffdachef']power handling is pretty set with the sub's coils as you said and some subwoofers cant handle larger boxes, but i'd go as far as any subwoofer will get sloppy and begin unload faster if the box is [B]Overly [/B]big for them. After a certain point it'll be like free air. [USER=644906]@Babykinns[/USER] ; already said why most people can push twice the rms of their sub in the post before. Any amp, doesnt matter what they claim, will produce considerably less power then you think it will after box rise, voltage drops and efficiency. In reality you are probably only 200ish watts over.[/QUOTE] i get what you all are saying.. i do. i was just wandering because when i had my box build i was asked what power ( amp ) i was going to use. so i was thinking well what if i decide to get a bigger amp then what. also i do get what your saying about im not getting or using what the amp can put out because of rise/voltage drop/ ect... and im guessing that's what most people use an amp with more rated power so you can get closer to what the sub can use.
