My brother also has a pair of them. He only has a jl 500.1 running to them and they sound great. Awesome sq and get loud enough for him. They aren't overpowering loud but have top notch sq.

Im currently running that sub..and I love it. Great SQ . They can pack a punch too. The only downside to them is their price. But as all eclipse products you will not be disappointed in spending the little extra $$$.

I had the sub in a sealed and ported box (30Hz) and I definetly prefered the ported because of the extra db's a port can give you....the sub still maintains very nice SQ when you port between mid 20's and low 30's.

But if your $$$ orriented then I would recommend looking at a Image Dynamics IDQ's

.

Heres the website for eclipse:

http://www.eclipse-web.com - for specs and everything on the sub.

Do the subs distort at high volume. I am looking for a pair of subs or a sub that will sound good and clear and not distort at high volumes. I have 1400watts rms to work with.

 

[spyd3r 10+ year member]

I know the sub is speced at 500W rms, but I have ran it 700W w/o any problems....

The woofer never distorted at higher volumes and handled anything you can through at it.

But with that amp.....did you ever considering gettign a single eclipse titanium. I think you would be alot more satisfied with two of those. Run them at 700W a piece in a nicely ported box. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/omg.gif.05aa02c3095d6ce9338996654eca0863.gif That would be sweet. And if you like playin it at higher volumes the titaniums would make you more happy.

But if you don't have the extra $100 per sub (atleast) , then the Aluminums do great. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I have 2 of those subs in a sealed box and they sound great even at high volume. Using the 4000w eclipse amp with em and I hit 133db and it still sounded solid. Wired at 4ohm to each so that means I sent them 1000w I guess, heh.

Friend swears by Eclipse and I have to admire his set up. Very clean and gets plenty loud. Yeah a little pricy but man do they sound nice when hooked up properly! The ti series is very sweet. If you got the money they are worth it.
