they can take it just have to be careful the small box is going to help alot..

why not get the nightshade v.2's? they will take that all day long no sweat...

but with the v.1's the built up version in the right box, and you dont get stupid you should be fine

I wouldnt run music daily at 3500 rms, that will sure heat them up super fast. Rule of thumb on a 3" coil subs, true power is 1200 rms on a good aluminum flat wire coil. With 1200 rms on that you can play it 24/7/365, thats true RMS when it can handle it all the time! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Cool story bro, I'm sure motor design has nothing to do with how much power a woofer can handle.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

there seeing about 3000 rms right now so 1500 each and there fine the only time i smell them is when im clipping them

3500 RMS measured power = too much

Your average power on music with a typical impedance curve... probably going to be okay. Just pay attention to them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I know Jbizzle had a 3500 on each of his 18's no problem. Like everyone else said just be smart about it and u should be ok //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
