[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8255662, member: 560148"] Not necessarily you, I saw it in at several places in this thread, honestly never bothered to look at the names, just kept coming up. In general I see it on here a lot, people seem to have the idea that if your not running 5k to a single sub then a 4inch coil is a waste of money or even a detriment, which is FAR from reality.. Car audio manufacturers can misrate their subwoofers all they want, but 3inch coils don't like more than 1500 watts RMS in many cases for daily.. Sure you can add lots of fancy cooling tricks, make the coil super thick so it won't play past 60hz worth a ****, but at the end of day, it's still going to run into thermal compression much faster than a 4inch coil as you approach 2k. Will most of these subs fall apart of 2.5k, well no, but are they gaining much compared to 1500 watts, no they aren't.... You also gain Bl when you step up to a bigger coil in most cases at well, which helps effeciency if anything. [/QUOTE]
