this is a pretty good sub had 2k dailey on them and it wanged splml212 very underrated was louder than the splw12's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

dude wtf is your problem?
all i did was ask an innocent question to get some ideas, if it was dumb then all you needed to say was that it has to do with the box, did i hurt your insensitive feelings or something that you gotta say go kill yourself?

if its stupid to you in some way then just say it, grow up alittle...sorry if i made a dumb thread, i learn to not do this again in the future...

go get a girlfriend or something...chill the f#ck out...sorry if i can't give you back your 10 seconds to view this thread, its ok, life is still liveable...

ofcourse it depends on the box, did i say the BTL can handle 600rms on any box? no, i said up to...

anyways, if its too pointless, then someone delete it...sorry for wasting everyone's time...

Don't love this forum? You ask a simple question, which could turn into a good discussion, and you get flamed for no reason. Dudes need to go get some ***** and chill out.

you know **** well why you get chronically flamed. it all comes down to lying.

fixed.

While I don't agree with flaming the OP, it is kind of a difficult topic to prove... Not many people know the bench tested capabilities of their amps, nor the capabilities of the amp once in the car. Wild guesses are about what most people are gonna be able to drop, IMO, unless someone has some fancy equipment etc, to know how much power is getting to the sub.

Usually, the amount of power a sub can take from what I have heard is the design of the enclosure, the cleanliness of the signal and the heat dissipation capabilities that the sub has to offer.

I don't remeber that... Althogh then again you fit in pretty fast, too.

i think any sub can handle more then its rated power, BUT only if the power its given is CLEAN. also enclosure has a lot to do with this. as does the mechanical limits of the sub.

BTL (rated: 2000, can take up to 6000+ rms loaded)

I dont think there is a 3" coil known that can take 6000w RMS.

HD3 (rated: 1000, can take up to 2500)

Doubt it agian

RSD (rated: 500, can take up to 1200)

and Agian

R (rated: 500, can take up to 1500)

And agian for sure.

any others?

What a true RMS spec is an what people measure in their testing with a clamp meter and a volt meter is NOT under the standards that comapnies rate their products with. In many cases Apparent power and RMS power are used as one when they are in fact not the same thing. With inductive loads Voltage and Current peak at different times. ie they are out of phase. How much they are out of phase will effect how much of a difference there is between apparent power and Watts RMS.

Hence the reason for creating a baseline... e.g. driver X in box size Y with amp Z and 'this much power'....

Nothing is absolute, but, a person can get pretty darn close - close enough to satisfy many a folk on here.

Just a thought of course.

Any thing from IA comes to mind. I know Brad and Matt put will over twise the power rating on thier LI's and they loved it. I've heard the 187 can take but loads of power, and heaven knows the DP's can take pretty much anything you can through at it. My old LI's did fine with over 300+ rated power for over 6 months. Anything from IA will deffenetly give you a lot more then what they are rated for...

A solid X2.

I think my old install, which involved a single IA 187 12 off an MTX 1501D at 1 ohm, which equated to about 1800 watts RMS, would take the record. That's 6 times rated power. (In a Decware Deathbox for the curious.)

Unless you want to consider headphones. My $10 Walmart Sony earbud phones are rated at 80mw RMS. I push them daily on a 1.5w / channel tube amp. That's 18.75 times rated power. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Mister fluke dont lie //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

50 amps, 100volts per coil.

ok is musical watts

or burping watts?

Apparent power vs True power

I'm not denying that they can handle 6000w of apparent power.
