why dont more people use fi ssd

Most people don't have or need that much power. I don't have more than 1kW on tap, you think I give a rat's *** about Fi BTLs or BLs, DC level 4s and 5s, DD anything, Sundown Nightshades or any of the other high power subs out there. They're all overpriced for a 1kW+ sub as far as I'm concerned.

Overpriced for a 800 watt sub imo

Yeah, they are conservatively rated at 800 watts. I had a 12 SSD on 1500 watts daily.

And I'd choose efficiency over power handling. I did ~144dB in a daily box with 2 10 SSDs out of a trunk on 1200 watts clamped power.

Depending on options this sub is very good IMO. I had a 2010 15" SSD loaded in a 4.5 cuft box tuned to around 32 after displacement running off a kicker zx1000.1 and that thing sounded great. I also have heard with the copper coil option these can make a great SQ woofer too. Good entery level sub

true story of the year

most people are blown away when I tell them my amp will push 1400rms.

Most of my friends and most "regular" people usually run 500-600rms and are more than happy

We (this forum) are a VERY small percentage that thinks 1000 rms is entry level and that a single 10" is nothing

Thats what seperates the normal people and the people that really want to get loud.

I'm not a regular people. I've done enough dicking around with small and low power equipment, and now it's time for me to take my knowledge to truly get loud.

I just bought a 15" SSD knu flex 4 gauge and an audiopipe 1500 about 20mins ago.

If you got true SPL knowledge, you know its more on install and design than power or cone area.
