can they handle the power tempest

[OLD_SCHOOL 10+ year member]

Some opinions needed I am going to be getting 2 tempest 15’s and they will be in a sealed and stuffed box with 4 cubic feet each (in a common box each with it’s own sub chamber 4 cubes)

The question I am looking at the hifonics 1500d and it says 900 watts rms @ 2ohm is this to much or just right ?

Can they handle it I don’t know much about these subs I hear rave reviews and want to try them.

400 rms, so 450 wont kill it.

As long as you know what your doing and you don't go for overkill, they should be fine, but you must know the limits of your subs and not push them past it. If your not comfortable with that, then you might want to look at a little less power.

Wire 'em to 1 ohm? Ummm...that's not gonna happen. I think the Tempests will be fine off of that power, as long as you dont start gain cranking.

i wouldn't run more than 700 watts to each. they perform to there limits with less power. about 500 watts will be perfect. they shall sound very nice.

i figure 900 watts to two speakers thats 225 watts per coil should be ok if my thinking that each coil gets 250 watts is corect hehe
