[HardCoreSound 10+ year member]

Hey yall,

I heard that Re Se's can take 2000w each daily no problem. Is that true. I was thinking about putting 2000-3000 watts to a pair of 12's. I know they are only rated 600w rms but several different people told me they can take a lot of power. Accualy the first person said they can take 2000w each!. Thank you guys for your help Im intersted to hear your opinions.

SX's are possible...

SE's will take your 3k no sweat. Make sure to turn the gains all the way up

they CAN take that much power but it's not going to last, not for daily. Tommy Mckinnie who has the 24SE's in his truck runs like over 1000 watts to em and blows them constantly at competitions.

atleast that's what he tells me, and he's using IA 20.1's running at 16 volts so it's more than 900 to each sub

i would probally keep them under 800-900 to be on the safe side.....

I guess a Power Acoustik A3000DB would be fine its rated 1800 @ 2 ohms so Id prolly get like 1400-1600 out of it right?

 

[HardCoreSound 10+ year member]

that fine?

SE's are|were dual 4, so your final load will either be 1 ohm or 4 ohm.

I gave my SE 12's right at 600 RMS and they sounded great. For daily you should be fine with 1000w 'cause your subs will rarely see it.
