How much power can these subs take?


Recommended Posts

talk about this

a friend of mine ran his 10 inch re audio SX with 3times the power...(around 4-5K of CLEAN RMS) for a whole year

you can get it trough but with the right enclosure and no clipping...

Hmm ive ran 3x the rate power to my sa10s They lasted a couple months till surrounds started to rip.. But i expected it.. Funny thing is, they stayed cooler on 3x rates power Then 500rms each.. Also ran my amps at .35ea (saz4500s x 4) but ive got the electrical for it, and know they can blow at anybtime.. But its a risk i take!

andt hen the other people that recommend it. dude that SA can take 1000-1500 watts no problem.

poof blown woofer for new guy.

I have done this, asked about Obsidian 18 handling 1700watts, because I had seen 1 ran on a SAZ3500, a few people told me it could handle 1700, some said they put about 1000-1200k on theirs but gets stinky, and others told me that I shouldn't consider putting 3x RMS to a 600w sub.....I asked because I have run subs at well over RMS before without problems but had no experience with Obsidian and didn't know what they were capable of handling....

like N8 mentioned there are always people on here saying "they can handle 1000-1500 all day" for 600w subs, and I still don't understand the .5ohm obsession, why not just get a 1ohm stable amp that does the power you want to run?

Moral of the story I listened to people's recommendation and didn't get a 600w RMS sub and then try to put 3x RMS to it

Yes, I was.

shows how much you know. most of these people asking these sorts of questions or stating they over power their subs really dont know how much power they are actually getting to their subs. it is a lot less than you would think.

plus you have no facts to back up why you state i am wrong. just disagreeing with no support.
