[QUOTE="wickedwitt, post: 7526598, member: 622908"] Why does everyone insist "the amp is barely turned up"? Unless that thing has a potentiometer, it's putting out its full amount of available power (given voltage and ohm load). That 1500w amp will still murder a 600w sub, even when "turned down" unless 1: the sub is under rated 2: the amp is over rated 3: a combination of both 1 & 2 or 4: it's a small box, a good clean amp with perfect voltage, and good signal in/out in which the sub is never played at or below port freq. EDIT: for people who don't read- the 1500w amp and 600w sub are hypothetical and are not implied/expressed to have any likeness to the actual amp and subs in question in this thread. It is more to be read as a rule of thumb. [/QUOTE]
