18" Subs That Can Handle Over 6000watts RMS


Recommended Posts

I'm thinking about upgrading my subs and adding some amps to my setup. Thinking about one Rockford Fosgate T2500 to each voice coil. I know the older AA SMD subs can handle that sort of power and the V2 have been teased to be even stronger. Hopefully the V2 sounds just as good as the original SMD does on music. These will be in my daily driver and I like to listen to all sorts of music, not just 38hz tones. Then theres the DD Z series subs. Great SPL sub, from what I've read, but not great sounding on music. Are there any other subs out there that could handle that that sort of wattage without burning up? And will they sound good on music? Not trying to be a vs. thread, just would like to know if there are more options for me out there and what they are.

Thanks.

I WILL BE RUNNING 2 18S! NOT ONE TWO ONE PLUS ONE THREE MINUS ONE.

DDz not great on music? facts are wrong, Those subs sound infinitely better than my 95s. Of course it somewhat depends on the enclosure.

You are also looking at $1500+ for just 1 sub.

more than that from a dealer.

you get what you pay for. I'm a firm believer with saving up for what you really want. Otherwise you'll just be unhappy with something sell it, lose money then save for what you wanted.

I wasn't trying to talk shit about the DD Z, that was just what I remember hearing from a couple of different people on this board about the Z. I agree that it depends on the enclosure somewhat.
