Guys, I have 1 of these old Boston Pro 10.5lfs. The 2 ohm. It's in a small-about 0.4 cu ft sealed custom fiberglass enclosure for my dodge ram under the rear driver's side seat. It's been running off of one side of a Rockford Punch 500s so getting 250W, according to the amp specs. I don't have the certificate to know for sure what the actual wattage is. The manual on these just says: Recommended Amplifier Power: 50-1100 watts. That's a pretty wide spread but it seems it should be able to handle a lot more than the 250W. It doesn't list max power. The site speakerboxlite site says the max power is 2200 watts. So I don't really know what the best RMS power would be to run this most efficiently.
Anyone here have any suggestions or real-life experience? I bought a new Alpine PDR-M65 Amp, rated at 650 RMS into 2 ohms, the certificate says actual output is 796 watts into 2 ohms. It seems that would do the trick pretty well, but before I take the plunge and switch out my amp, I thought I'd check here and see if anyone had some input. Much Thanks.
