These things are monsters. They are like 72 pounds, which is double the weigh of their second best line of woofers. WTF
yeah with those spiders. **** yeahI wonder how much it can take daily. Think it can take 3,000 RMS?
Spiders dont affect thermal limits.yeah with those spiders. **** yeah
I am going to disagree on the power thing. until I upgraded my alternator, the sub barely moved.Spiders dont affect thermal limits.
Instead of wondering if it can be over powered safely, you should be asking yourself how big a box you could fit in your vehicle. The new xxx dont want a lot of power, but they do want a large enclosure (contrary to RE's enclosure specs).
If you mean it needs a lot of power, yes it does. But it doesnt like to be overpowered like many other top of the line subs these days do. They have a reputation for burning coils, or yes, ripping spiders. One is a thermal issue, the other is mechanical. Thermal failure is dominated almost solely by current capacity versus input current, mechanical failure is affected by current but is dominated by enclosure size. If you want more low-end or output out of your xxx than the manufacturer specified wattage and enclosure size suggests, you'd be better off up-sizing the box (it's t/s specs show it wants anyway) than you would by increasing amplifier size.I am going to disagree on the power thing. until I upgraded my alternator, the sub barely moved.
