Obsidian 18

Recommended Posts

For anyone who is still contemplating how much power an Obsidian sub can handle, I would not recommend going much more than rated. I am giving 1200 rms a piece to each of my 4 15's and they get warm and stinky after just one minute of wanging, and I have even set my gain with a DD-1. They are rated at 600rms for a reason.

How do you know your JX1000 was giving 1000 clean watts? I've bumped mine since the pre-order and they don't get smelly until around 1200 watts with an 1800 watt amp, so my guess if you clipped yours. Bad.

^^ Ninja'd. 1k clean should be fine though.
