LOUD=ghey
Betya he hangs out with Nelly too....

I have been around him while I lived there. Does that make me cool? I was even paid to do so haha.

Please take a video of you running 2000W clamped power sine wave into that woofer for 10 or 15 minutes. That'll be a good indication of how well it'll handle 3500W "all day every day".

IMO people who claim their woofers can handle more than 1200 or 1600w continuous are setting themselves up for trouble.

I see what you are saying but music is a lot different than a sine wave.

Nah, because most of them are the people who think their amp is pushing max power 99% of the time.

this ^^^ unless you know for a fact that those soft parts and coil configs are proven to handle that power continuous which for 3500rms is doubtfull

Ya 3500 w rms sine wave, ya right. But who does that? It's all about the music, yo.

Yeah my wife went to high school with him. He's supposed to be a good guy from what I hear. I think he's a **** star now. Not even lyin'. Lol!

Search youtube for "flexin'" or similar, find random video by someone who has a similar grasp on the English language as OP. You'll notice that most of what passes for "music" the bass-line is pretty much a +3db sine wave @ 35-40hz for 3 minutes straight.

The Beatles, Janis Joplin, Cream, Hendrix, Metallica (before they got haircuts and quit cocaine) 3500W all day every day isn't tough. Lil wayne, Jeezy, and the like and good luck with your 3500W all day every day.

There isn't a voice coil out there that will really hold that much heat for very long. Continuous means CONTINUOUS IMO. Sine wave, any frequency, forever. 3" coil can do it at 1200W, 4" coil at around 1600W. Slight varience due to wire gauge, cooling options, etc. but that's pretty much your thermal limits.

It's rather easy to build a woofer that will mechanically handle that much power provided a somewhat properly built enclosure, but thermally without very advanced materials (which conventional loudspeakers just don't use) even 2000W requires a bit of discression by the end user.

It's supposed to, but you know that's not how most woofers are rated. I will say this though. I don't see a point of running more than 1500-2000w to a single woofer if you are playing music. The gain of any power over that limit, IMO, is minimal for the effort involved. I'd rather have cone area. Cone area is cheap loudness.

Prediction - This guys subs will be blown within two weeks of them being installed.

I like u dude but this is wrong what u hear in a song will not be as loud as a sine wave when a song is mastered a lot of bass is taken out to make the song louder without pumping and breathing
