TS2GFrank Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Just ordered my Z v.3 two weeks ago. Hopefully it'll be in this week. I'm putting 2 dual 2 15's in my 92 accord. I got D2s because I planned on running one amp per sub. I have four Planet Audio TQ1601s from my previous build so I plan on running 2 of them. I clamped one at a little over 1k before but a Z.v3 is rated 1.5k. I've seen where people dump 5-6k on them but I don't plan on using that much power. I plan to bump these daily and also do a some SPL (145-150db). How much power does it take to really get these subs going because I know my 1k per sub won't even tickle them. As of right now I'm thinking 2 DD M2's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fritosaregood Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 People using a lot of power know what they are doing. You should stick to rated until you know more on the subs.

shogen Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 My aq2200 isn't enough for my z it's just begging for more How exactly does a sub "beg" for more? I feel like these "it NEEDS more powa" comments are a bit misguided/wrong..... Can we know what enclosures all you guys are using when you post that comment? I have seen some amazing things with a Z3 on 500w .... soooooo ummm, maybe you guys are used to insane amounts of output and I'm not but vibrating a review mirror with one 12 ported on 500w seemed pretty fcking good to me Quote Pioneer Premier P880PRS ll Front Stage: US Acoustics 4060 - Random speakers currently ll Sub Stage: Crescendo BC3500D - 15" Xcon sealed @ 3.28 cubes ll Electrical: - Kinetik HC1800(front) NEW***DieHard P-2(rear) beaker- I know this sounds like a lot of anime bullshit, but it is true.
