Eclipse Sw8122dvc 12 inch sub power?

[shagdrum]

I have one of these to put in a sealed box (probably 1-1.25 cubic feet). Don’t know too much about it. The literature with the sub says it can handle around 500 RMS, but I have heard that it can handle much more. I also heard that this sub is built buy TC sounds (basically it’s a tc-7or tc-9?).

Here are my questions:

(1) To those who use, or have used this sub, how much power can it safely handle?

(2) What is the connection to TC sounds? Is this sub basically a tc-7 or a tc-9? Do they handle the same power as their TC sounds equivalent?

Thanks in advance for any response. It is greatly appreciated.

Search... I actually looked up some information on the same sub today and both of your questions have been answered.

First off put it in a smaller box. 1 cube is too big for that sub and it will sound sloppy. Go for .75 or a little less. As for wattage 500 will work but 7-800 is the sweet spot.
