question about re se10

[mustangowner 10+ year member]

I was bored today so i thought id see how much voltage i was getting to the amp at idle, so i checked it and im getting around 14.5 with the radio down (drops to 12.8 on some notes).....

well while i was at it, i checked my voltage at the speaker terminals and was getting around 43 volts on some notes....this is equal to about 925 watts if i did the math correctly (43x43= 1849/2 ohms= 924.5)

My question is...is this TOO much power for the se? i have seen a few people run 900+ to these but on very few occasions. Like i said this only happens on certain notes/songs. I have set the amp per the tutorial, and it should be set to around 850 watts.

any advice or opinions? Thanks

I ran 950watts to my 12" SE once, all day. Never had an issue...

Does your GT come with Mach system?? What module or parts did u need to purchase to install an aftermarket cd player?

I assume that the 10 and the 12 have the same motor, coil, etc.?

I was sending 1800 to my pair for a few months (daily driven, at least an hour a day or so), and even after a bass mekanik song at full tilt (or a few...) they wouldn't even get warm to the touch.

Not that I'm saying they positively won't blow, but I think it'll handle it. Either way, I'd turn it down just a hair, even if you take 100w away from it, it won't be much noticeable unless you have it full tilt all the time

I may turn it down just a hair, just to be on the safe side. But then again i hardly ever play it at full volume, unless i am showing it off. Thanks guys
