Zv.4 how much is too much power?

I think you just want to get louder..why dont you save yourself some money and just build a larger enclosure with some good bracing n resin the indide and do some sound deadening to the trunk and cabin. Maybe some deadener and then sound barrier on top of it. Mdf isnt too expensive and sound deadener will only set you back a few hundred if you take advantage of a sale promotion. Better than sepending 1200 just for a new amp. Also whenever your batteries die on you think about getting all same brand and same group size batteries..different batteries of different group size and brand cycling charge between them can cut down on battery life for all of them. Just tryna help out

Had a Cres 3500D on my 2 12" ZV4s @ 1ohm w/ 3 Batts to wear them in, then swapped out to a 5500D and they're loving it. Mind you I've got a mighty big enclosure for what I have too but theres never been a problem

....big 3 cube box..12 inch zv4 ..5000d..on good voltage...nuff said here my friends lol

So if 2.25 is ideal for a 12" how about a 15" on a saz-3500? Trying to see if I can get 2 15s in my mag without walling.

My (4) Zv4 18s came in yesterday. Im running 2 at the moment on an NS1. 2 of them are laughing at my NS1. Ive been beating the shiz out of them and they barely get warm and havent smelled a coil.

Define "laughing at". I hate when people say that. It means nothing. How do you know you're not a cooter-hair away from a bad day? Rant over lol.

Dude around here had two Zv.4 12's on an NS-1, and the surround was dimpling at full tilt. I'd say that's pretty near limits. Enclosure definitely plays into that though obviously.

Has anyone had any issues with the spiders on these subs? I pulled mine out yesterday to just look it over and when I lift the cone about 3/8"-1/2" small 1/4" long tears open in the peaks of the ridges of the spider, it's only about a month and a half old and it's only been on a RF T2500.1bdcp, it's in a ported enclosure just under 2.5cubes tuned to 32hz and I've used the subsonic filter and broke it in according to what sundown had said? What gives with this thing?

Under a minute and that sub was very smelly. I saw that one in person.

I was wondering about your box size because with my two dual 2 zv4 18s in my box that's 11 cube with a port thats a bit under two cube with the use of my DD z1a at half ohm, within 30 seconds of a song the subs cook fast......is the box to big ? Got a 300 amp spx alt and 5 diehard platinums and one under the hood the box was tuned to 34hz if i new how to post pictures i would post a pic of my box design.
