Re Sx 15"

Hey, will this run fine at 600 rms @ 4 ohms? Reason i'm asking is that there arent all that many good 2 ohm dvc 15" subs.

yes it will run fine but it won't run nearly to it's capability

Ya, i'm just talking about now, until i can afford a better amp. Prolly get one that runs 1 ohm stable eventually.

What can these run at with a good installation? 1200 rms? more?

YGPM, they can handle more than 1200. But 1200 with the right box is plenty for most people. Infact it was to much for me, but thats just me.

Im running around 1300-1400 in a big box.. Going to build a smaller box so I can run a little more power to it

So, for now while i have my wimpy amp, will this sub still get loud with only 600 watts rms?

It wont be as loud as it could be... but itll make a sound.. It will sound decent but not nearly as good as it has the potential to sound.

So, if i make a bigger enclosure it will sound better though right?

The people who say they run 1300-1400 to these - ported. Is this in competition only? Do people really run that much power daily with music? I have lots of front stage and I send 60v @ 50hz 0db ~ 900 watts to each of my Avalanches sealed and they can easily overpower the fronts.

Ok, well, i'm not planning on doing that anytime soon anyways, thats y i'm wondering if i should be building a bigger box ported for less power? Or will i just be better off building a bigger sealed box for less power?

Yes, mine is daily. I run 1400 watts rms to my SX 15. If you have some nice Components that are powred by an amp then they set it off right.

i run 1300 daily to mine in a big box and it sounds great and get's hella loud...

BUILD A BIG BOX! i'd say 4+ cubes if you are only running 600rms to it... should still get loud just not as loud as it could...

 

[M3NTAL 10+ year member]

Ah, I see.. so you are only running 1 at that power. If you were running two with that much power to each, I'd say there is something wrong with your hearing.

Psychotic, 4+ cubes ported? Or sealed? And is this internal volume? Or gross volume?
