2 12w7, ported or sealed? How much power? I was looking at a Power Acoustik 3000, it runs 1800@2ohms, 2400@1ohm. What's Up?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/banghead.gif.8606515f668c74f6de0281deb475b6fd.gif :banghead:

each 12w7 i belive takes 750 watts rms at 3 ohms.

POrted man!And throw about 2400 at them,GO FOR IT!

2400? really //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif what ohm?

Shoot I dunno, I heard they can take lots of power, but I dunno if that amp is stable under 1 ohm,but u said they are dual 3's right,So I guess wire them in parallel series,and I guess that would put them at a 3 ohm load,I suppose that would put him where he needs to be will that amp IMO

Dual 3's wired in parallel = 1.5 ohm load.

As far as I know, a 12w7 cannot take 2400wrms...

The 12W7's are SVC 3 ohm, wire them in parallel for an ohm load of about 1,235 - 1.5, then find an amp that's stable down to 1 ohm where the median wattage between the 2 ohm load and the 1 ohm load is around 1,500 - 1,600 watts.

2 W7's could. And plus that amp is overrated

He said 2 sub too!

Just checked them out and they are only SVC,3 ohms,so wire them together and that will put u at 1.75,which I guess will be ok,just set the gains correct

Give the W7's about 1200 each for em' to really kick ***.

Are you factoring in impedance rise? If so, how would you calculate that? If not, your math = not good. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Haha, whoops. I can't even read... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wallbash.gif.1310150c49dd52e0fbe1813a0681e5c3.gif

 

[SBLAZER]

i say give em around 1100 each and ya should be fine

YEA U RIGHT!

No, and no my math doesnt **** I am just not thinkin right at this time of the day( had a few to drink)
