[QUOTE="Warbleed, post: 306352, member: 549898"] I don't know why people still hype this myth about subs "needing" their RMS power. Just doesn't really make any sense to me at all. I'd take the single XXX over the pair of SS's, at ANY power level. They will have far less distortion at any output level. You don't need 1600w watts to benefit from this difference. If you really must maximize your power, then you may want to consider getting a Brahma 15 instead. They have a more compliant suspension, along with more Mms, which gives them better low frequency efficiency. However, the audible difference between 1100w and 1600w is not much at all. You are looking at a difference of at most 1.5dB, and that is only true on flat BL woofers like the XXX, Brahma, and W7, because other drivers will already be suffering from BL compression, and won't even give you that much of a difference in output. Instead of accepting what people say, even if a particular person works at a company, always at least ask yourself "Does that really make sense?" Don't confuse the argument with the person, it only results in the inability to seperate truth from unfounded opinions... [/QUOTE]
