as much as you want to spend, amp wise, electrical wise

strict SQ comps are often people throwing tons of power at a sub sealed in a small box

Thanx but I was looking for a number....say an average RMS in a SQ setup

They may use powerful amps, but they don't use them anywhere near their potential

This is to ensure a square wave right?

Varies on the speaker and how loud they turn it up.

Some, 1500W others maybe 500W.

Rated power for my setup is 1500rms

(100 to tweets, 300 to mids, 1100 to sub)

Actual power I have limited to is 800rms

(50 to tweets, 150 to mids, 600 to sub)
