I don't see why a company would make an 1100 watt amp.

the new ones are rated higher now. 600 watts rms.

The 15"ers have a bigger coil than the 10's and 12's. So they obviously take more power.

This has been debated many times on here..search the forum. Some of said up to 1000rms..but I dont believe that. Not on a daily. I wouldnt send more then 6-700

This ^.......

One of my friends decided that they could "handle" much more than rated. Fed them 900w each rms clean for all of 5 days. Seized up on the song Onto the next one - Jay-z Blue Print 3.

Lesson learned and +1 for me saying i told him so..

Well, that AB amp is like 5000rms...I think its safe to say that its "unadvisable" to run that much...but they did take it tho
