Hertz_So_Good Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hey guys, just a quick question. as you already know, if you read my box thread. That I have 2 sundown sa 15's. I currently have a Sundown Sae-1200d on them. I see videos online of people putting anywhere up to 3500 watts on a pair of sa 15s. With that being said, what is the maximum you guys would throw at them comfortably? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj Kumz Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Most people running that much power know what they are doing. Their gains are set lower to give less rms to the subs. Plus due to impedance rise thy probably getting close to rated power though running 3k. Personally I think 2k would do just fine in general.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Thank you, I know there are a lot of variables, but will going to a 2,000 watt amp be a big increase in output? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj Kumz Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Maybe not a big increase but it will improve. What are the specs of your current box??

Hertz_So_Good Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 There is a big issue going on with my current box, and I am going to be trying to return it to my local shop that built it. I have a 9 page thread on that topic over on the SSA forums. but it is 7.5 cubes, and the shop claims it is 33hz, But I am almost 99% sure its tuned somewhere around 39hz.

Cj Kumz Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Why don't you take a picture of the box and post it together with the measurements. That way we can roughly have an idea on the specs.. What was concluded on the SSA forum? Vw Polo Pioneer Deh-6050UB Sundown Saz-3500d DD Audio 9500 15'' 5.5 cubic feet box with 10 inch port @ 38hz I live to hear the Bass drop!!!

Triticum Agricolam Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Going from a true 1200 watts to a true 2000 watts will be almost unnoticeable to the ear. There are really easy ways to verify tuning. That would be the first thing I'd do with your box.

Joe X Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Overpowering mainly will benefit a competitor if every other thing has been optimized and there's no other way to gain output. To most daily setups it's just more risk than what it's worth IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To most daily setups it's just more risk than what it's worth IMO. It does not always have a benefit and can actually cause the system to perform worse.
