For some reason, 3kw and daily just don't go together..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
Do what Chad suggests, spread the power across multiple units. Not doing so will net you a crispy coil.

i aggre . but do u realy think that the XXX wont take 3000 daily

I know the new Nightshades can take a beating. I put my original prototype in my car and it slams pretty good, doesn't get hot and is pretty musical. However, if I had the room, I'd run two on my 3000D if I could. I'm not sure that I'd push that amp that hard on those subs (3kw to one I mean) because I don't want to have to have them re-coned. I don't know if they could handle 3kw or not, I just wouldn't risk it. Also, I would never go over 3kw for daily. Over that is just a waste of power if you not competing. But that's just me.

the gain isnt a power knob, its used to match the input stage of your amp to the preout voltage of the HU..... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

If you're set on running 6k, why not check out the mach 5 spl 15? That way you could double your cone area, put up nice numbers and still have a sub that will play great for daily... Just an idea

Just curious, what kind of electrical system will you have?

The gain is set on 1/3 on my Sundown, that doesn't mean it's putting 1/3 of the power. If you set your gains low and keep your volume low on your deck, you'd be fine. But if you turn your volume up, that's when things could get back.

my daily was going to consist of 2 stetsom 7kds :/... I rethought it over and i'm going with a single 20.1.

I bet cash i'll still be louder than anyone semi local with their 6k lanzars PER legacy sub.

Lol at your avatar. And yes, you're completely correct on being louder than the locals.

my daily will consist of 2 nightshade 18's and a single sundown 3k. Plenty for daily and probably enough to win a few shows. There is no point in running 6K per woofer unless you like reconing subs or something.

Man that avatar be banging. Looks at all those highs and...highs!

In all reality though 2 7kds would just be too much for daily, I used to be obsessed with getting as many watts as I could fit in a 2 door hatchback //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif but for daily, would I really need it? No. I went from wanting to do 8 12s, to 2 18s and I am more than happy I decided that. I think I just wanted to say I was the loudest or had the most watts out of the 50 car clubs down here, and I wasn't in one..lol. Finally decided I didn't care what others though, I want a system for me, with items I wanted in it that I could listen to all day and still impress people at the local car shows.

to the OP, it all depends on how you look at it. I wanted the watts/big system to impress others. I decided I'd rather be happy myself than worrying about others.

Anything can get loud, how loud.. is up to you in the end.

understand but ive heard 4kw for daily 3 kw for daily and i was impressed with the output. but for me i want and need it loud. I aint doing it for anyone else but me . What can i say the feeling when the bass hits is ORGASMIC. BTW i will be porting LOW 28-30 hz walled off. honestly both set ups would be insane but i have to decide . im getting a great deal on either set up(cant say prices) but can say one hell of a daily driver. Like i said its for me not for the public but i still would like too see 4 15s nightshade. but for the price im getting the xxx i cannot complain . I know few people on here have had great success with that woofer . and i know they can take 2500-3000 daily. BTW I WANT JAKE TO MAKE A 5kw amp

Even Meade doesn't listen to his system any where near max potential for long periods of time, 'daily'. Those huge RF amps aren't even designed to put out that ridiculous amount of power for very long (less than a minute iirc).

Someone needs to make "I wanna be like Meade" T shirts. Who ever made them would make more money that Goob.
