Louisiana Bass Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 2k would be fine. I wouldn't chance more than 2.5k though, it's possible to go higher, but be prepared for the possibility of needing a redone. N8. No homo...unless you want there to be.

mlstrass Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 copper coil should be fine on a 2kw amp for daily, assuming you won't drive around full tilt for hours and you can keep a clean signal to it... I run an AQ3500 on each 18 for daily, but I don't drive around playing it full tilt either, only crank it up for demo's.
RAM_Designs Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 Headroom is never bad IMO. So long as the sub will reach mechanical limits before thermal limits, then all you need to do is make sure you're not tearing the sub apart physically.
