Is 2 se12s safe on 800w a piece?

with the gains way down sealed or should I go for a more powerful sub and if so, which. I have room for 12's but if I port, I can only do one 'beast' sub.

I have a single SE12 being powered by a Directed 1100D and my sub hasn't distorted yet. It's wired down for 2 ohms, so it's getting 800 Watts, but then again my gains are set a little below half way. I haven't done the gain setting tutorial yet, but I plan on doing it.

to sum up, yes they should be fine as long as you aren't crazy on the gains. Oh and btw, my single 12 is in a 1 cubic foot sealed box.

Be careful and you'll be fine, just make sure not to push them too hard. Req had (not sure if his tempest is up and running yet or not) his SE running on 800 watts as well without any problems that I've heard about.

his tempest is in the mail //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif. He loves his 10" SE and gave it 800 watts daily.

I'm interested to see how he likes it when it comes in. Do you know what he's going to be feeding it?
