Your friends have a better idea.

A lot of power is not always a great thing, you run into power compression very quickly...cone area is a big advantage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

What kinds are there? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Power compression is when you're supplying more power to the driver but aren't getting corresponding gains in output...if you're watching meter results as you go up in power, it's pretty easy to see when this point of diminishing returns occurs if the driver does it.

If money isnt an issue the try this 2 audioque hd3-12s and 4000rms. Box 4cubes after displacement tuned at 38-40hz.

You can figure cone area on your own...

For round drivers- Pi X Radius^2

For Square drivers- Length x Width.

thats sounds real nice....
