18" Subs That Can Handle Over 6000watts RMS


Recommended Posts

????I didn't say anything about reconing....

I would have been pretty confident putting my 750.1 at. .35 on 1 18" n2, n3, sp4, crossfire v, aa mayhem, trantric 4" coil... there's a few others out there... clean power clean to dc lvl 6, dc lvl 5

Fi rates stuff to be reliable..... when you push any sub to 2x its rms you are bound to break something eventually....

But I give mine hell daily, and they take it, hence why I got bigger amps.... my n2s ate the 3500 clamped each....

Why don't you like the ts spects of the sp4? The fs and the sensitivity? Really?

If u really want the all out just go buy the smd....... but still if you mess up anything, box, subsonic, lowpass filter set to hig anything like that you do run the risk of breaking tinsile leads burning coils... the little things that suck....

The fs is too low. I know that most people will say that your fs can never be too low, but I would prefer the fs to be close to my box tuning frequency, which is 35. My vehicle tends to peak at 36-38hz, so my box is tuned to 35hz. Having a sub with a fs of 34-35 is like the planets aligning. It's the little things, right? And the SPL is way too low. I try to stay away from subs that are inefficient at low wattage. I know that SPL number doesn't mean shit when the speaker is being pounded by 6000 watts, but if all other specs are the same, I will always go with the sub with the higher efficiency rating. It may be wrong to some, but that is what I look for spec-wise.

DC Audio Lv6m2, AA: SMD, Fi BTL N3 are the ones that I know can handle it, DC Audio is my first choice though. xD

i know one person who has had 6000+ on his woofers for over 3 years with no problems. He runs 4 SMD 18's. Trying to think of his name. :)

I like the price on the FI SP4, and most of the specs other than the FS and SPL numbers. But something sounds fishy that a 4" voice coil subwoofer is rated at 2500 watts RMS. Why in the world would they rate it so far below its true capability? Seems to me that sandbagging to such a degree is silly.

warranty purposes more than likely. the Fi SP4 is pretty damn similar to the Crossfire XS V2's. Slightly different motor structure but thats the biggest difference. Crossfire only rates their's at 2000 i think.

And Crossfires leads tend to be a weak point, whereas the SP4's leads don't break as much.

I personally haven't seen the SP4's put through quite the same abuse as the crossfire's yet though. Did hear the SP4's in a LOWWW tuned wall and they were definitely impressive.

Just what i've seen from guys running both locally. They are similar, but the SP4 is definitely superior to the Crossfire.

the SP4's are beast subs, flwatersaver on the forum had 4 SP4 18's on 4 DC 3.5k's and he could demo full tilt all day long as long as he didn't push the amps into clipping, and i'm talking about full tilt from 10hz-50hz without any issues whatsoever, his 4th is tuned stupid low though.

The thing is, with that much power, you better know at least a little about what you are doing. You also need a very strong enclosure and very strong electrical.

DO NOT SKIMP ON your Electrical system. EVER!
