not per voice coil, total RMS.

Yep its RMS .... if its DVC and it states 250 RMS that means 125 per vc

is it true that jl underrates their subs like a ton. i heard that you can pump 2 times that power and they will eat it up. is that true??

I have a JL Audio 10W3, and I'm using the Kenwood 729S amp [600 watts] with it, and that sub eats up all the power I send it... whereas the Kenwood 3003 [the blue 12"] blew after a day with my new head unit & amp.

My previous setup was with the stock Ford head unit and the Kenwood 729S amp, and the blue kenwood sounded ok. The new Pioneer 940MP head unit has the 6 volt preouts on it, so it's *slightly* [lol] more powerful than my previous setup.
