My friend has those tuned to 32 hertz in a 4 cube net box running off a AQ 2200D. I can't really give a percentage, but not only did they get loud, they sounded really good. They are definitely an SQL sub but the sound quality is par.

Depends on box size/tuning, but they are a good sounding sub.

if u can wire them to 1 ohm, AQ1200D for $250 will give them 600 a piece which is what they are rated.

I have these on a memphis mc1000d ( 1100x1 @ 1 ohm ) after rise and voltage drop of around 13, Im guessing their getting around maybe 450-500 per sub.. Ive been @ 144.1 with 2 12s in a trunk car .. So yea they are loud.. SQ , Meh.. Not my favorite sub, but they dont sound bad.. I came from a w7, xxx, and a RlP so my standards for SQ were a little high
