Swaggasaur Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 If money is an issue then why throw 3500 watts to a driver? I'm just saying regardless of enclosure and clamped power, it will be pushed to near its limit...and then pushed like that daily. If money was an issue split the power giving them like 2000-2500 a piece. the plan is a DC 5k or the new crescendo 5.5k, but probly the DC cuz i like to match my stuff. thanks for the input everybody, much appreciated Quote BHE Wall Build TEAM DC Audio TEAM XS POWER1986 Monte Carlo KMC Nova's 20"4 DC XL's W/ PSI Recones2 DC 5k'sPioneer PRS 8010 Audio Technix 6 XS Power D3100's 1 XS Power D3400 Mechman 220a Alternator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.p Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Anyone care to mention enclosure, i could fry a XL in about 1 minute flat off a 2000W amplifier....IF ITS NOT MOVING DEPENDS ON YOUR ENCLOSURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The xl does not have alot of cooling built into the motor, as long as the sub is moving, the coil is cooling, even better inverted or in a box with good airflow. Just because you have 2000W clamped doesnt mean your getting anymore output than 1000W clamped. TL, Voltmeters, and a proper enclosure should be addressed before you try to play 5000W+ to a single sub.

I rather spend 100 more on the Crescendo. 5000+ watts vs 4200watts. Also, as far as "matching", is the extra few hundred dollars worth matching name brands if the internals of both amps are VERY similar. Equally priced or close, I could see it. But if you have to pay close to MAP pricing on the DC, I'm not sure its worth it. I'm just saying. As far as whoever is complaining about this thread, don't read it then. Read the first page and that's it. But when you throw 3500rms to a XL without real knowledge, don't whine and complain when you no longer have a working sub. I wasn't arguing but trying to educate the ones who JUST read and don't post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
