Sundown Audio

Recommended Posts

How much can these 10's take consistently? I've heard 600 rms but then I heard they can easily take 1200 rms. Im just curious because I may run my RF t1500bd at 2 ohm on one sub. It would actually be putting about 1200 rms at 14.4v. Can they handle that continuously? Thanks guys.

a lot of subs can handle more than RMS for advanced users, If you plan on over powering a driver you have to be careful. Generally if you have to ask than you should stay closer to RMS...

lower tuning is just hard. I was surprised how loud 145 sounds at 35hz, and how quiet 145 sounds at 50hz.

Of course the subs are built to last, and are underrated to begin with. But there are so many factors to consider at how much a driver can effectively take and handle thermally.

I have played SAs on AQ2200s and they handled it very well. If you're going to do it, make sure electrical is stable, signal is clean, and enclosure is designed around the power you will be giving it and should be fine.

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

Ha ha. I'll just put one amp per pair. That'll give them around 900rms each at 1ohm. Sound good? I'm gonna have four SA-10'a.

I've got a Mechman 270 alt and two batteries with 0/1 g wire running but I don't wanna chance it. Can anyone help me a box design for the 4 10's? I can build sealed boxes very well but I don't know how to calculate for ported boxes.

Ha ha ha. Well I figure 1500bd per two subs is good. I mean, I think I need a new box for sure.
