jk13 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) whats the point? Better cone control and dynamics at all volume levels. If you're asking about peak level (full volume) only, yes there are diminishing returns. But more sound is still more sound. Edited July 22, 2016 by jk13 Quote Static drops are my bag.

Markous Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 My Zv4 10" sounds great on rms power from a SCV. Made me have the same thoughts as OP.

Smoove Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Why push more watts?Simple, Why overclock a computer why put a racing cam in stock V8 because we can. the question is can you handle the cost of pushing your gear harder than it was designed? We all grave more power at a lower price.If you can afford it, go for it. But if you do, dont come crying when you break something. 3 Quote 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnibus Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 I have 2 JL XD amps. 1 is 600 watts, other is 300. I couldn't really tell a difference but I also don't normally listen to my music at max. So I now just use the 300 watts, I'd rather not be heard more than need be but can still hear it quite a ways out if I crank it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 the thing is because youre really not pushing 600 watts to that sub.. even if you get a 1000 watt amp chances of the sub seeing 1000 is almost impossible Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
