RE se True power requirements?

[LX2 10+ year member]

Hey guys I have an Audison LRX1.400 mono (650@2ohm and 900@1ohm).

I am contemplating adding an RE SE but Im a bit worried as the subs seem

to have a lowish sensitivity. The general 'feeling' im getting from the search

I ran was that they were very power hungry and required more than 600

to get anything descent outta them.

The Amps gonna be running @ 2ohms(650 watts).

Does anyone know whether this is true or is it just a case of a sub that

will run optimally @ 600 but can still take more??

Only individuals that have had hands on experience with the subs need

reply.

thanks in advance.

I never ran mine sealed, but they sounded great on 600 watts. I ran two though, built the old RE SQL box for 1 SE 12 and mirrored it to make a two sub box.

I ran 700 to an older se10(**** cone) It was nice.

650 should be fine for it

600 is plenty for a se.

I've got two of em, i'm gonna be putting a 1200.1 to em this spring once the snows gone. I think it'll fit them nicely, because I was pushed it with a MC1000D and they were getting about 550 a piece. They were moving pretty good, but my electrical system couldn't handle it.
