2500rms on a pair of SA-12's daily?

Its a 2.5 inch coil you're going to be at the very tippy top of what they can handle.

Yup

The thermal stress on the coil would be high, not saying it can't be done, but I wouldn't do it my self.

For reliability you should look at no more than 1k each. I would even run them that high. Sure people have one it but for how long. Most people putting dumb power too them sell things off every three months

^ true, but 2500 rms isnt bad on 2 sa12s?

Do you know what you're talking about? If not read not type. All you do is add more confusion than started with

yes i do. he is asking if a pair of SA12s can handle 2500rms. yes they can. ive seen it done. ive seen a pair of SA12s on a Sundown 3500 running at .5ohm daily with no problems. i dont suggest it, im just saying it will handle it if done right.

had a buddy running a sundown 3500 to his 2 sa 12s at half ohm daily, they took the beating, i wouldnt see any problems with them handling 2500. just make sure the gains are set good and you should be alright.

I'm running saz2500 on my SA-10's without any major problems :shok:

well, look at it this way. Run them at rated power for a long time or double the power, avoid the warranty, but get much more out of them.

Your choice.

Exactly what my thoughts are on many other questions that are similar, people say how they have put x amount of power on something and it taking it well, but for how long?

I pound music very hard continuosly daily when i ride places on all of my past setups and on subs for example like kicker cvx, skars, i always comment on what my experience with them are since i abuse the stuff for a long time and TRUE daily. All of my setups i keep for a minimum 1 year unless its equipment i already know about previously.

True daily dont give it more than 800-1000rms.

The SAZ-1500D is a good amp for a pair of SA-12's. Puts out about 1800RMS with good electrical. The subs are underrated, going beyond 1K rms each is a little high, but if you don't drive them 100% 24/7 you should be okay.. You should consider an SPL re-cone from sundown, the aluminum coil they use would be perfect for your setup. IIRC the name is SA-12X cones, my pair have these cones.
