[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 5204585, member: 555320"] No. If two subs are capable of the identical linear displacement (Vd), i.e. the same cone area and the same linear excursion, then they will have identical maximum output capabilities [all else equal]. It's pretty bad when a rated power handling of 600w is considered weak [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif[/IMG] But in all seriousness, they weren't designed to be beat on. They weren't designed to have kilowatts of power dumped into them. I guess it depends on how "loud" you are wanting. I have a single Shiva-X running IB on a 500w amplifier, and it has more than adequate output to do everything I desire. With this single 12" I'm able to satisfactorily feel the sub-20hz rumble in Planet Kryptonite or the canon blasts in 1812 Overture. It's takes a bit of displacement to achieve that.....so it's no slouch. But then again, I'm not looking for a 140db+ daily driver........ [/QUOTE]
