Michael Dean Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Rockford says 550rms, these subs are a beast does any one know or have put them to the test? i currently have two on a t1500bdcp?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskanzx5 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 its got the same parts as the t1 minus the copper cooling plate on top of the magnets. id give them up to 800 clean power but keep a good nose out for them smelling. heating is more so the issue with them imo. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

Thanks for the info, just trying to see what I can give them with out full distruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckeeler11 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 So partial destruction is okay??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snafu Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 My fiance's son had a T0 12" last for about a year with a bridged HiFonics Series VII Zeus on it before it failed. That's about 9 months longer than I thought it would last. Tony Candela - SMD Sales & Marketing Email me at [email protected] to learn about becoming an SMD Partner!

But that is over rated power of the sub so if I keep it close to rms and not pound the hell out of them I should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 You have to ask yourself how long do you want to run the sub. I have contacted RF before to ask about there subs and speakers. Basically They underrate there amps but are spot on on rms and peak wattage of there speakers. And since music is recorded differently, distortion levels may vary. Over powering your subs can be dangerous, shortening there life. I own a T1D412 running it off a 1999 RF Power 10001a at 1 ohm so it getting close to 1K and does well but i dont full tilt and on this system its in. Long story short run it how you want, but if you value it stay close to rms and enjoy. Not enough output for you add more subs, move up the T-line series subs.

Krakin Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 I would say about 550 W. Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.
