[QUOTE="jay spec, post: 224177, member: 548190"] response straight from pg when asked about powering the ti subs with more wattage: I would very strongly recommend that you not run the Ti subs on any more than RMS power. There is no acoustical benefit to doing so, and we have seen guys absolutely nuke these subs (to the point of literally melting the cone) by running too much power. You will endanger your tinsel leads and voice coil, and there, again, is no reason to do this. Run the Ti subs on the recommended power and you will be perfectly satisfied. Best wishes, Tad@PG with that said, i wouldn't be the one to test out the limits of my sub. however, you are more than welcome to do so. what was the voltage when you tested out the sub with the tantrum? i ask because, according to the manual, the 1200.1 is only rated at 250x1 at 12.5v, but jumps to its 1200x1 at 14.4v. i strongly suspect that you had it running at 250x1, because if you had thrown the full under-rated 1200wrms at a single 12, i have a feeling you'd have damaged the driver within moments of play.
