4k is way too much to a 9515 box would have to be way small to make that work. I know if added a few more hundred watts to mine they wouldnt like it

Not to thread jack, but that brings up a question; is there a general amount or factor of extra power you'd comfortably dole out to well built subwoofer, or is it all based on experience? Aka 25% more power in a smaller box wouldn't hurt, 50% more is way too much, ect. Just asking cause you seam like a knowledgeable guy.

The way I look at it. If you don't know how much extra power a sub can handle or you don't know how to set up your equipment properly...Don't run over rms. Do not listen to what any one says it's not there gear. If it blows because you took there advice they are sure as he'll not going to help you pay for it. So IMO just run RMS or really close to it.
