[QUOTE="digitalrainman, post: 3683165, member: 577603"] Right now i have a Kicker cvr 12 inch sub being pushed by a cheap crunch amp with gains set to 400 watts. The sub is supposedly rated at 400 rms / 800 peak. This sub is in a sealed box at 1.37 cubes. My question is am i underpowering this sub or does it seem right. The only reason i ask is because just from my opinion for some reason it seems i am overpowering it. Its not distorting or anything but i am just judging from how much it moves. It says the max excursion is .5 inches and there are some songs i play where it seems to almost hit that max. But alot of people say that you can go about 50% higher then the rms rated, is there more excursion with sealed enclosures, would that be why it seems to move alot? Because i have seen the same exact kickers in ccity in a ported box and they hit much harder and only moving less then half the distance mine does. [/QUOTE]
