kirill007 Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 It's more then enough, unlike the general consensus on forums you don't need to go above the manufacturers rating. You won't hear the difference between 1000 and 1500w Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't hear the difference between 1000 and 1500w How would 500 extra watts not make a difference????? please explain.. I have a hard time understanding that.. Cone area=loud watts=loud right? is that not why a higher watted 12" sounds louder than a 100watt 12"? Quote BOSS Audio FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going from 1000 to 1500 isn't even doubling. 3dB is often considered just noticeable, like a click or two on the head unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
