SnowDrifter Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 The Zcon is like the Mayhem right? And the Evil is like the Team sub? SSA stuff confuses me because they have a few in between models and power ratings on subs Think of an evil as being close to a crossfire XSv2. Not really sure why Justins are getting hot on a 5500 though. I've had my 3" coil 12s on a 5k into clipping and they handle it all day. A team mate has some XSv2s running in the neighborhood of 5k per sub and his take the power pretty well ~~~~~~~~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...

SnowDrifter Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 5k would be a good starting point, at least IMO. I've found there is this weird.. I don't even know what to call it... Thermal curve. When I say rated, read that as "rated." Not necessarily manufacturer ratings, but more results from real world. I've personally seen this type of thing in my own subs, friend's sundown X, sundown SA, Level 5, kicker comp(of all things). Under rated power - Not too much to worry about. Don't play square waves and you are fine At rated power - Pretty good. Clipping in music usually isn't much to worry about Above rated - Can get stinky quick if you aren't careful. Need to be careful about clipping Wayyyy above rated - clipping turns into a non issue. Unless you have a tiny tiny box or something, now your limit is mechanical. With a large amp dialed back so there's no clipping, you can actually feed a fair bit of power to them. Lots of mechanical movement = lots of cooling too. I know that may seem a bit odd. Feel free to disagree, but it's something I've noticed ~~~~~~~~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...

Feel free to disagree, but it's something I've noticed very interesting i wonder if there is science behind that, maybe who knows. i believe this. when i first got my x 12s on the 3800.1 i turned it up just a bit so there were seeing maybe 2500 watts ( rated and i noticed they where smelly every now and then ) then i turned my amp up full power with a dd-1 and never got the smell agian. and btw is your crossfire 600.4 ran active ? id to see your amp settings if so i got one laying around i may want to test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
