[QUOTE="kr15, post: 6722078, member: 620194"] well, my amp at 4ohms is already overpowering them. I could run them each in paralell and present a 2ohm stereo load to my amp (2ohm stero is 400rmsx2, so probley about 500x2 actually). And yes the box seems to be tuned high, maybe 42 or so. I hate ported prefab pieces of ****...I guess my sound preference is about 70/30 spl/sq..I want high spl with moderate sq...For comparisons sake, my buddy is selling a Treo 15in SSi dual 2 in a nice box, so we hooked it up to my amp at 1ohm mono (unadvisable) and it seriously hit 3-4 times harder than the Kickers, and sounded better. I know, Treo shits on Kicker and comparing a 15 to 12s is like apples and oranges, but the difference was astounding. The treo is rated at 750rms (hear they can handle much more) and I have no idea what my amp was pushing at 1ohm mono, but must have been at least 1000rms, and the treo took it no sweat...thoughts? Forgot to add previously- despite the 400rms rating, Kicker only reccomneds 300 in the ported box...perhaps pushing them too hard? [/QUOTE]
