[QUOTE="AtillaTheHung, post: 8496150, member: 664886"] Not really a noob question, but it can be if you look at it right. :P So I have an SA-8 V.3 in a T-Line running off of a Hifonics ZRX 1000.1D It's tuned using a DD-1 and the MOST this subwoofer sees at full tilt on certain songs is about 450-500 watts (Hifonics is a little off with their RMS claims on this amp as 800 is as far as it will go without clipping @ 1 ohm, 13.7v) I've had it hit the top ring once or twice. The thing about this is that it sounds SOO good, way more output than my 12s, but the hot cone is concerning me. T-Line dimensions: 40 wide 12 depth 15.75 height The cone gets significantly warm, a lot more than my 12s did and they had lower RMS. I'm assuming it's the box? I only smelt the sub ONCE during installation when I first got it ([B]I did NOT set the gains coming from my 12s after the first hour of installation for the 8[/B] so it was seeing about 800, turned it off immediately.)
