teddyspl42 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 so i've been looking at new subs to buy, and i'm on kind of a low budget and i was looking at the obsidian 15"s and i was wondering if they can do rated? i've heard good things about the sub but i just want to know how they are on taking power Quote Car: 1995 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport 4.0L (2wd) Headunit: Pioneer AVH-P5000dvd Front Doors: blown stock Rear Doors: blown stock High amp: none (for now) Subs: 12" Kicker L7 D4 Sub amp: JL Audio 500/1v2 Wiring: Stinger Pro Speaker wire: Stinger 12g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watch the bass Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 You mix there something, theObsidan can take the power. And do rated? Is the question do an amp the power whos printed. Look for the RMS ratings at subs and amps, and have a look on the fuses at amps if you are unsure, 1000 watt RMS amp power have to be fused with around 90 amps.

pro-rabbit Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) I have 4 of them in a wall behind the back seat of my blazer. I have a AQ3500D(waiting on two OA3s to replace it) at .5 ohm with rise to 1.13 I clamped the amp at 3874 on 13.2v. They take it like a champ though. Sound clean work great daily on that power..that is clean unclipped power though. Edited October 12, 2011 by pro-rabbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
