The SA series can take some power...but to be safe I wouldnt give over 200-300 watts of its rated RMS daily. Thats just my opinion.

Why do people want to over power subs? Why not get another one or a woofer that will actually use that power correctly?

I just really LOL!

We are giving them 750-800 daily and they love it

Jacob rates his products for half of what they will take, im sending 2500 to 4 sa8s and they dont come close to getting stinky, but if youre going to send double to them, make sure its clean. 1000 each is nothing for the sa10-15s.

Why is that funny? You're giving them ~200 watts over RMS and you find it funny that I suggested that? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I'm the kind of person that likes to have headroom so I know I'm sending clean power to my stuff. That being said, I'd run a 1kw amp to it to keep the power clean.

proof?

I have an email complaining about it somewhere lol. He said that you have to build your stuff to take 2x rated or people wont be happy. Im not going to post it because Im pretty sure he doesnt want to endorse his products for 2x. I can speak that the sa8 will take 2x clean power idk abou the sa15s but I would try putting 200ish clean over and see where that goes. Really though you should just buy something that can handle what you can put to them no question, end result will be you not being satisfied with the powaz.

I know they're underrated....Jacob was burping 7k to a sa15 in his jeep, Yeah it's a burp but that's a lot of power for a 600rms sub

that same sub on 2 powerbass 5k's, 158.1

SA15 vs 2 powerbass 5ks......VID - Car Audio Classifieds

I had a sa-12 in my car for a couple days, it bottomed out on 800 watts

you sure about that?

quoted directly from Jacob

"On the other SA woofers it is nearly impossible to bottom out the ring or coil. You would have to break the neck joint to do either"

"the coil cannot hit the back plate and the driver cannot quite move far enough to hit the glue joint on the top plate. So the neck joint will break at the limit of too much excursion; albeit it's difficult to break the neck joint that is where it will go as nothing can bottom out. "

"If you hear a bottom out type sound on the SA-8 it's the triple joint ring on the top plate -- we actually do that on every burp on Sean's CRX for the best number"
