[QUOTE="gamehawk55, post: 8137977, member: 645990"] Well yeah running 4 of them off of a 2500W amp is only going to give them 625W each MAX. And guaranteed with impedance rise they're probably only seeing like 400W each or maybe less. So of coarse they wont get hot running BELOW rated power. When mine got hot they were seeing 800wRMS EACH or possibly more in some instances. I might pick up 2 more eventually. Will be tough to fit 4 in the trunk of a G6 though :P. But it would definitely be LOUD and would sound good if the enclosure was built right. I like the sound of the 8's as they are but 2 of them just isn't enough to really feel the bass. I hear them WAYY more than I feel them. So I may end up having to switch to a couple 12's. But....can you get decent SQ out of higher powered subs? Or when you start crossing over into the 1000-1500wRMS region (per sub) where they are 99% geared towards straight SPL? I've never had a sub that was rated for more than 500W before so I don't know what the 1000-1500W subs sound like. [/QUOTE]
