w6v2's.....Bramas in a big box......shivas.....tempests.....re se's (though not as good sq as some others)

Soundstream VanGogh or Rubicon- right on the 600rms mark

W6's are good, Type R's are good. Shivas wont handle 600 thermally. Brahmas are way too loud, but at 600, would be a waste. SE's in about .7 cubic feet..... At 600 a brahma wouldnt work that well, but, its prolly the best overall sub in the category.

Brahmas work great at 600. Shivas are rated for 650rms and would handle more, although its usually not needed to get full output unless were talking a VERY small enclosure. And brahmas are not way too loud one brahma would have some output but also the best sq of the choices..... its hard to beat xbl^2 in sq.

Your preachin to the choir.Ive seen those specs many a times

Okay then why are you sayin the rms is only 375? I had mine hooked up in my room for a few days gettin around 500 and it wasn't even warm.....Also I installed a pair in small sealed boxes that each got 550....they are fine and the acidentally boosted his bass up a lot by switching the loud button on his HU on and was heavily clipping them for a week. They will easily take 650.

Because the RMS is only 375.

look at the shiva.

"375W per voice coil; 650W total to the driver"

I am sure a brahma would sound good at that volume, but thats a waste of a sub if ur gonna put 600 to it at most. I have heard one before, supa, and they are awesome....but if ur only gonna put 600 to it, i say its a waste.

even 3000w dosent get 2 moving in a 8 cube box.

I put 400 w to 1 in a sealed box, pounded but it didnt pound your brains out
