[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8718575, member: 614752"] Really depends on the sub and how much power. There's always a tradeoff on efficiency too. A JL W6 would probably outperform SSA Evil on 300W but at 3000W the Evil should be able to survive for a little while where the W6 was making smoke back at 600W. I've seen very few 4" coil subs that really impress me apart from TC4hp platform and DD 99XX. 3" 8 layer such as Fi BTL may be superior in efficiency and thermal power handling than most of the 4" 4 layer stuff out there. 4" 8 layer will never be efficient but if you want to run 3500W sine wave into it indefinitely just for the sake of bragging how much power your sub can handle that's probably the way to go. At the end of the day I don't think people really understand how logarithmic scale works and how little output you get for more power even all other things being equal. After a point, adding more power is probably the worst way to try to get louder and certainly the least cost effective. [/QUOTE]
