Overpowering subwoofers

I don't know, boss audio watts are those dirty diseased filled watts. Like audio gonorrhea.

But just like women if you got four of them in front of you ready to go you won't think about all that

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.

I can wire my two subs to 8ohms, and find an amp (or two) that puts out 2400W at that ohm load.

Or I can not use my gain on the amplifier and wire to .5 and still not have an issue with my subs.

Who knows how he is wired to that amp. Did he have a true RMS meter or AMM-1 to show that he was pushing a true 16k to two 4500RMS subs?

I'm not expert on the matter but I'm gonna go out on a limb here to try to get you an answer, he was probably running the 2ohm DVC of those subs at 4ohm which would supply 6k watts to their 4500rms. If you look percentage wise thats about a third more power then rated, just tune correctly and I can see it being done.

I personally power each of my DD 9918 with a taramps HD8000 wired at 0.5ohm. Ok, I can play no more than a whole song on the edge of soft clipping but it's ok for me. :D :D :D :D
