[QUOTE="vorgath, post: 4046295, member: 566478"] Looking at upgrading my system. The Cerwin Vega look like a deal right now [URL="http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=225"]http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=225[/URL] However how much does one need to feed them ? They're specified for 600W RMS, so one should give them at least 600W each ? (Planning on running two 10's or 12's) Looking at some older Power Acoustic Gothic amps, seens some 1800W ones, so 500W RMS at 2 ohm per channel, however in reality they would give more like hmmmm 425-450 W correct ? So I would be underpowering the Vmax subs ? Their sensitivity is less than 90db, so they do require a bit more power ? Right now running an old Infinity Reference 1042W fed by the old Profile 600MSX, problem is, both have been discontinued. I've been looking for an identical amp for 2 years or so now. 410W at 2ohm, it's alright. The Cerwin Vega Vmax series, can they be run in a sealed box ? Would they sound as clean the Infinity ones or just louder ? Let's put it this way, I spent maybe 200 total on my setup, looked around, got the VERY last MSX600 amp they had online, it was no longer listed the next day. I got the sub on sale at Circuit City. So I know a good setup can be made real cheap, but I am just pretty clueless when it comes to which subs sound good or not. [/QUOTE]
