Tebo Posted October 20, 2013 Report Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Website says 3.0-4 at 35hz for rated 500w. Only amp I had was an aq2200 so I decided to run that currently the sub is in a 2.2 cubic foot sealed box I had laying around to hold me over. Ready to build a nice ported box now and was wondering how much space I give it running the aq at 1ohm with the gain backed off a bit. I was thinking 3.0 at 35 should be okay? Just looking for a confirmation on this. I have had it running at 1ohm with the gain back off for 4 months now coil still looks new this thing is taking a beating like a champ EDIT: title change Edited October 22, 2013 by Tebo Quote 04 dodge dakota ext cab 4x4 excessive amperage 300 amp alt with MONSTER stud =)sundown z v3 15 in a 4th order on aq2200sundown 100.4 2 way active...2 Prv audio 6mb200 & 2 re XXX tweetersdeka intimidatorkenwood x396big 3 1/0 knu wire back to deka intimidator

bdog Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 i think i would do 2.75-3 if i was u. but your really pushing the limit Quote REP
Tebo Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Posted October 24, 2013 That's the whole point I wana see what this thing will do. If it blows recones are cheap. My buddy said 2.5 so I think I will try 2.75 thanks man!

Tebo Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Posted October 24, 2013 I'm well aware of that lol it's all I got at the moment. I did an install for a friend and she paid me with this sub so I couldn't complain. I want to do 4 in a wall come tax time but the x 8 looks so beast I might have to grab a pair of those Quote 04 dodge dakota ext cab 4x4 excessive amperage 300 amp alt with MONSTER stud =)sundown z v3 15 in a 4th order on aq2200sundown 100.4 2 way active...2 Prv audio 6mb200 & 2 re XXX tweetersdeka intimidatorkenwood x396big 3 1/0 knu wire back to deka intimidator
LoudBimmer Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 I doubt it can handle this much power even in the small box. Just as an example, I ran 2 SA 10's on saz 2500, so double their rated power, and I ran them in 1 CF ported box. Recommended size was 2.5 CF. The subs took it fine, but it was double the power. In your case, it's quadruple. Quote
Tebo Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Posted October 24, 2013 I'm not giving the sub full power at one ohm. It's taking the power like a champ right now so I just want to see if I can still have some control over it in a ported box. Thanks for the replies guys!
