My first sub was one of those SE 15" subs. I liked how it sounded ported. I powered it with a Hifonics bx1206. I wired it to 2 ohms which put out about a true 750watts. I had this setup for about a year and the SE never had problems with the over powering.

You guys think it would take about 1000rms daily?
