Will this overdue my 2 SA-12's?


Recommended Posts

I ran 1500 to mine. Clamped. They were fine for a few weeks then started to tear them selves apart, surrounds tearing spider joints half ripping... Anddd coils breaking in half.

Coils still looked like new when the coils were breaking tho

if you run them @ 2ohms then shouldn't the output be ~1200wrms though?

No? if i ran it at 2 ohms it would 850 to each sub right? cuz its 1700 at 2 Ohms

dont do it, if and when all goes bad you'll be out of subs wishing you hadn't done it at all, if you weremore experienced then i would say go for it. theres a rating on them for a reason, its so the average person knows when to stop, just becuase one person does it doesnt mean the next person should.

So what if i got 2 MB Quart ONX1. 1000D (475 @ 4Ohms, 1 x 750 @ 2 ohms, 1 x 1000 @ 1 Ohms) and had them at 1 ohm for each sub? would that be better?

But if i got one of those, wouldnt it only be giving 600 to each sub @ 1 ohm?

I ran double rms power to my skar VVX 12's before I got my ZVX's and they took it pretty good but sure didn't like it..... Also I didn't rail on it for more then 30 sec.... The one time I tried to stress test them I played decaf 10+ minutes with zero brakes and I got them a tad stinky, but aft they cooled off were just as good as normal......

The good thing about giving them more power then they are rated for is they loosen up a lot quicker lol. My VVX 12's took about 6 hours play time to really get nasty lows.... Took almost a week with my ZVX's lol

then what amp would you recommend for 2 SA-12's? my budget is 300 and under. Maybe a amp for each sub? idk, help me out :)
