The idea that any particular sub/speaker "needs" X power to work correctly is not true. Typically if you feel that you need more power A.) You wanted more then what your setup can provide or B.) Your enclosure and/or settings are creating an issue with the amount of output generated.

Now, does this mean that you can achieve maximum potential from your sub/speaker with 1/3 of the rms rating? Not likely, but it will perform very well and allow you the ability for upgrading the future. Just ensure the design of the enclosure is geared toward efficiency. The down side here, is that if you apply more power down the road the need for a new enclosure may arise as enclosures designed around efficiency do not like to have large amounts of power ran through them do to several various factors.

Well now I'm very curious because the Fi Sp4 is what I really want lol. How much larger would the box have to be?

[quote name='FamousMassacre']Have you considered getting 2 American Bass XFL 12"? They are rated at 1000rms but can do 2k each daily.

@mylows10 can take care of you with those subs
@double 07 can build you an awesome box for your specs and give you the best sound out of your subs.[/QUOTE]

Nothing against american bass, but for some reason I just don't like there subs lol thanks though for the idea

I heard there other subs were bad, but you obviously have never heard the XFLs... there's a reason they dont sell on amazon and you have to know people to get them

If you're in Redding, take a little trip up north and go visit @mylows10 ; I'm sure he'll demo his XFL 8s for you and you can see how the myth of a small sub not having output can finally be put to rest. I'm an SQ guy and have no reservations recommending the XFLs

And all I have to say about south vs north is this:

California. Public. Schools. Seriously. Geography homework was coloring a map.

A member here informed me that it may not be the best for what I'm looking for, so I'm just looking at other options.

LMAO who was it and what did he recommend?? pound for pound it would eat a sp4 on the power you have on tap

 

[FamousMassacre 10+ year member]

What I would do is search "*The subwoofer you were looking at* vs" and see what subs it's being compared to and then do the same for them and just gather knowledge on them.

Did you decide on what you are buying??

You won't get 2000 watts from a factory electrical system in a Honda anyways, so this thread is pointless.

Lol I hate to, but agree... Honda did not care about audio.. Maybe performance from the se s2000..

No car has 2000 watts RMS (or 200 amps) at tap. Not without extra or upgraded alternators and wiring.
