the one i heard was on a 500/1 and sounded greatrunning the 1000/1 to the pair im sure i will be just fine seeing as how im not going to be running them full tilt or anything.

the sole reason i got this stuff is to go to SQ while i still have hearing to listen to nice clean music.

i hear ya man. i'll be using a 500/1 to power mine also.

whenever I'm in the middle of a project, i just whip out my portable music system.

It's an old ass sony 2 channel amp and 2 6.5" speakers build in a 5/8th mdf little enclosure.

run 8 guage to the amp real quick and jam with that. Best little thing I ever put together, lets me listen to something while nothing is hooked up

yea ive got some old audiobahn 6.5s from before they went to complete sh.it

i thought about pulling the factory wires out of the doors and running them just to have something.

kmanian said he would have a different amp out to me today when he gets home from his trip

so hopefully tuesday or wed no worries.

i cant drive much right now anyway really soit hasnt been horrible yet.

i asked what's the min/max and they said to just run 300 watts. their power ratings are off a little, owners manual says 600 continuous but on that chart, that's in the danger zone. they said when they rolled out the new subs they were running 300 watts to each. as you can clearly see, minimum power is at the 100 watt mark.

that chart is way off. it's not even done by engineering, its put together by marketing. that sub takes 500 watts all day long.

I can verify this. I just got 2 13tw5's with a 1000/1 installed. It can take 500 each all day. I haven't turned it all the way, but I think it should be fine. System is so clean. Clean SQ as loud as you want it. This system rocks to be in a box this small.
