[aero ports or slot??]

which is better? louder? sound better? i going to build a box using aero ports maybe.. ive built a few with slot port but im just curious to what aero ports will do. subs will be two sa-12's

Here is my question. How are you going to only put 100w more to the sub than rated? There is no way to set you amp to put out a certain amount of power. The power it puts out will change on every frequency. This question should never be asked for a daily driver setup. For 3 level 3s I would use the dc 2k or any comparable amplifier.

i have a attic full of old us amps and nice ppi's i have never had a DC audio brand sub or anything actually i used to own an audio shop in my old town when i moved i kept all the amps and a few decks and i was saying i was joking not asking if you were joking. i know i can learn alot on here thats why i asked if they can handle more than what they are rated its not a difficult question and im not trying to disrespect anyone just getting some things straight

Yes they can take more than rated if done properly. The box will have to be correct and the signal will have to be perfectly clean.

box is 6cb ft (internal) and tuned to 33 in the backseat of a 96 honda accord coupe i have three alternators 3 yellow top batteries 0/1 gauge wire doubled back... they are on a Rockford Fosgate T1500 right now.. wanting to put this crescendo 3k on it but i dont think they will take the power thatd be around 350-400 more rms then they are rated for bc they're dual 2 ohm and they are wired to 1.3 ohms.. (i have three)

oh god, please dont say that. Just by you saying that means you should NOT put more than the rms of the sub from the amp. You cannot hear distortion until it gets to a high level. An oscope or the smd DD-1 will find distortion way before your ears do.

lmao a joke??? geeee

Unless you have the right tools and knowledge of where to set everything and have no distortion or exceed the freq limit of your sub/enclosure then i wouldnt do it. Stick with the rated power and be safe or you will smoke your stuff. There are tons of guys on here who exceed the rms power of their speakers (me included) but you need to know things such as impedance rise, where to set the xovers on your equipment, if there is any distortion at all in any part of the system, thermal limits of your equipment, etc. You cant just throw a 3000w rms amp at a 750w rms sub without knowing how you can do it and everything like that.

true but you can hear the distortion

i'm not sayen its smart or you should do it. i dont wail on my subs alot.

well im a risk taker ill try 100 on each more than rated then move up if i can see it can handle it

i put 2k each to my lvl4's they are rated at 1000 rms.

thanks man

If you have to ask..

haha like how much

i have three dc audio lvl 3 12's i was wondering if they can handle more power than rated daily??
