mississippiboi12 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 How much power can the sa 12s really take? im getting new subs now and going with them so i want to know how much power can they take. I've seen them take over 8k but i want to do this daily no burps ior anything just daily from school to home to work and other places so, i was thinking maybe 2 3500s ior 2 4500s looking at what ive seen them take. So if that question can be answered that'll be great and maybe other suggestions as well. I'm trying to be at atleast 150 db or close to it in aero port box tuned to maybe 34 or 35 hz so let me know guys. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) how many subs... what car i'd put 1000w at the most on each one. since you think they'll survive with 10kw. edit: im also gonna add this. just because someone was able to do it, doesnt mean you'll be able to Edited June 25, 2012 by Kranny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ddub847 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 which model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hammer Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I gave mine 900-1000 daily and probably wasn't clip free. Never got stinky but the dustcap would get hot sometimes....not really hot but definitely warm. 8k on 4 would be alot....I seem to remember some videos showing Sundown running them on 1500 free air before shipping them. Maybe if you get the coil option from them. If you are really serious email sundown and talk to them about it....Your amp setup Electrical..box specs...and see what they say with the coil option. Why not just bump up to the z series? than you can pound the shit outta them at 8k and not worry.

n8ball2013 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 4 subs run one 4500 and call it a day any more than that and you are really going to stress them.

mississippiboi12 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 i know it isnt but its crazy how i just got a great deal on 6 obsidian 12s and it was a great deal so i took it. Now i figured to have them on a crescendo 5500 at .5 or 1 ohm how does that sound? sence sundown and obsidian are practicly the same subs just other things here and there but yea with maybe 3 6'' or 8'' aero ports which one would be better for lower tuning maybe 34 hz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
