ncochran Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Im sure the size doesn't affect the power handling. But I saw a testing video of 1 12 off a single sundown saz-3500. Being sundown it puts out a little more than 3500 so I'd say 1750 is very conservative. Now with that beimg said, dont put a 3500 on one cause these guys actually know what theyre doing lol no offense You can't go by that. I have seen an NS-1 run an SA 8 lol.... That doesn't mean the NS-1 was putting out 6500W though. Pretty sure an NS-1 at full power on an SA 8 would absolutely destroy the sub in a pretty short period of time. Since you are new to car audio and not a hardcore competitor (I am not that far behind you) I would match the RMS of the amp to the RMS of the sub, and make sure my gains were properly set. 1 Quote 2006 Scion xB 2 Sundown SA12D2 Ported at 32hz 147 on non termlab (140-142 on TL) Currently in a walled 4th @ 50hz (not metered yet) Hifonics brz2100 Alpine Type-S Components Kicker 300.2 Big 3 / Skyhigh 1/0 cca Optima Blue Top 3 e8s ported at 32hz 135.1 sealed on dash @ 56hz 135.0 outlaw (I must have chosen song poorly lol) Build log 'Brandon15zzz', on 09 May 2012 - 3:13 PM, said: May have been clipping but none fucks were givin.

HunterJohnson Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Ns-1 would complement it nicely. Extra power on tap never hurt anyone 1 Quote Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 and i’m buying the NS-1 for a two 18” i think thats fair for both subs, what do you think? I know you won't like this answer... But the old saying goes: If you have to ask..... If you are running the amp at 1 ohm(not .5) and you are careful with giving the subs clean power - you might have a chance. But honestly: it's one of the YMMV type things. There's a reach chance that you will blow your subs. So be careful and don't be surprised if you blow them. They shouldn't blow if you are doing it right, but be prepared for the possibility Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAA Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) I’ll try and do my best, and yes the subs are (1 Ohm) and i hope i don’t blow up anything or i’ll be really mad Edited May 3, 2013 by AAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowfkncar Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Sundown is true to there ratings however, you have to know what you are doing. I had a nightshade v1 15 in 5.8 gross 3.5 net tuned to 31hz, with just a saz 2500,248ah battery & 220amp alt, I was able to bottom out the sub at ANY frequency below 36hz while full tilt *edit (even at 31hz,I can hard bottom because of to big of an enclosure for that amount of power) . It sounds very crazy and because of the box size and tuning,power handling and output went out the window. Although at 29hz I can do a small hair trick before it hard bottoms. The rms ratings seem to be conservative while the driver is installed in the proper enclosure. Being an installer for 9 years,I can say it is extremely conservative when compared to (rockford t2/jl audio w7) WHICH means nothing if your gonna play subs near free air.

PowerHouse407 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 just make sure it's clean un-clipped power and your good.

CaPRiCEx383 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 All the sizes have the same power handling. As for power handling, we don't know yet. I would venture to say maybe 3k, but we will see once more people get their hands on them. Damn, Well that's sad to hear. LOL I bought some x series and I'm going to put a 3500 to each... I need at least a 150 out of these! At 29hz...
