dugee81 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) if the signal is clean, id say maybe 100 extra, maybe a little more. i put a friends cvx on my colossus and i know i was running more than the rated 1000rms to it, took it nicely. just make sure youre not clipping. that = instant death!

Guest Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 if you have to ask, dont even bother running more than rated to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirill007 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 dont do it. If u add 200 more watts you wont hear the difference,only meter it. But the chance of blowing things up will be much higher Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichyMitch925 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 yeah, i wouldnt throw anymore power either, one of my first subwoofers were a 12" cvr, which blew up quickly by being to curious with a zx750.1 Quote Owwwwwwwwww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carroot1 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) hmmmmm. you could probably get away with 800 watts each. Since my kicker comps survived all the clipping we gave them. Kicker makes good products and i know people who have put more that rated to them daily. is it smart? no Edited February 11, 2011 by Carroot1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachJoshua Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Had 4 comp 12's on a SAE-1000D. 250 each, they're rated for 150. Handled it fine.

Beanz Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) if you go for more wattage man then make sure that signal is clean man and not clipped its usually what kills a wooofer i would say not more then 500-600 watts with 600 really pushing it Edited February 11, 2011 by Beanz Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.
