[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8349860, member: 628688"] On music that doesn't have artificial bass that happens to coincide with the lowest impedance the subwoofers will play the real power output is going to vary wildly from a few watts to hundreds of watts. Transient peaks might push the amplifier to its limits, but that's what the capacitors inside the amplifier are there to handle. As mentioned, your electrical system needs to be up to snuff with the entire circuit optimized for low voltage drop and adequate current delivery. I suggest running 1 sub in a ported enclosure that is designed to play a wide range of frequencies. This is more efficient and you will gain a lot more output this way. Going for higher power with twice the cone area costs more than just buying that second subwoofer. [/QUOTE]
