ChevyBoy95 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 thermally, i dont think 2k is going to cause any issues, the suspension and cone travel on the other hand is what i would be worried about, and box size can fix that. if you are running rms, do spec size, then the more power you add, the more you take the cubic footage down.

simplemindz Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 the more power the smaller the box is usually the way it works. dc subs are rated properly, but if the user knows what they are doing they are capable of handle more power, remember dc doesnt warrant user error so dont send a dirty signal and maybe get a box design from a reputable designer thanks man no problem dude and 3.5^ft is to big for 2k just fyi awesome in your opinion what do you think will get louder? a bigger box with the rms handling or a smaller box over powering it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashdollar2009 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Spec. box at rms vs. adjusted box with more than rms? Typically people build smaller and add power to get louder. 3ft^3 per on 2k would be perfectly fine. No offense, this is all just constructive criticism, and I respect you reaching out for help in your situation, but for now, i'd stick to 2k at the most if you insist on running over rms. Without knowing your true experience, i really think you'd be surprised at the results you'd see splitting 3k between the two in 7ft^3 man.

Freshman6969 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 the 4's are rated at 1500rms, if its a clean signal (set with a dd-1/oscope) in the correct box i can see it handling 1600-2k no problem Quote Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k! Why would you EVER WANT flex?huh?...flex is what can make the lows lower and more air being pushed correct?
