[QUOTE="realflow100, post: 8668051, member: 676243"] I'm only running 240W RMS per subwoofer right now with the amp Im running. gain is somewhere around the 10 o'clock position for both subwoofers. so probably getting anywhere from 60 to 150 watts RMS at peak per subwoofer. I found thats the safest spot to run them without cooking the voice coils. they reach thermal limit before they reach mechanical limit. even in free air. if I run them too hard. I think the subs are just not happy with a lot of power. possibly because the ported enclosure makes them not move as much as a sealed one since they have more excursion in a sealed enclosure. (I tested by stuffing the port with a small blanket) I guess i will just need to save up to get better subs and better box. whichever I can afford first. but for now these output plenty enough bass for me.
