Can these earthquake 12" subs really take 5000RMS?

Earthquake Sound HoleeS 12 (HoleeS12) 1 Ohm DVC HoLeeS Subwoofer

The SSA evil is rated for 3250 with no 12 model

the smd is rated for 3500 with no 12

dc level 6 is only an 18

crossfire has a 3500 model no 12

So what is the deal with these earthquakes? Are they legit?

Are they musical or SPL only?

IMO, it's extremely hard for a 5kRMS sub to be musical. I mean really, at that volume how musical can you actually get? But there was a dude selling one on here a little while ago, do a search and ask him man, I'm sure he'd provide some insight.

I was just curious. I wasn't sure how reputable earthquake was. For the price. I would assume they handle what they say they do.

Guys, come on. It's only 5,000w RMS. Clean power, it'll probably take 8,500 with no problems.

Level 6s is very musical

Level 6s is very musical

I suspect that really depends on you having a loose definition of the word "music".

It is rather easy to build a sub that can mechanically handle 5K (assuming some correct use of proper box design and HPF). If you believe that any of these will take 5KW sine wave for very long you've got another thing coming.

Lol I have one of these... its a 15 tho. I have never used it but I honestly think it can take the power.

I know there is a guy in norway putting 5k to one of these 15s and he says it takes it fine. The 15s are rated 7k.
