, U OR X series for 8-900rms amp

[john253a]

Edit

Been out of the audio seen for at least 5-6 years, and there’s been a few changes, I was yep I’ll grab another sa series but then seen the new U series and x arnt much more now we have a local dealer

 

Amp is kx800.1 so does between 8-900rms 

 

just trying to work out what’s going to be better/control on that rms? 

 

Biggest box I can fit 4cuft net 32hz 68sqin port, so controlling the sub is imperative to be musical

u15, u18 and x15 ported 

(u18 is out of stock for 3-4months as I’m in Australia) everything else in stock

also can’t go bigger on amp or this would be easy

I had that amp, it's birth sheet was 958 watts. Great amp, the shocc feature really helped out with some of the tracks that were lacking bass. I'd say just don't have your sub rated over the amp. Better to have a little too much power than not enough. You can always dial it back

Got my answer, Thankyou, the u18 on that power isn’t to musical due to not enough power to control, 

so it’s a u15 for me,

thanks

Yea SA for sure. I just purchased 2x U-12's. They need more than 1500 watts each

I’m starting here this a bit now, my local dealer thinks it will be fine, but after speaking to sundown direct they suggest the sa line and possible even waiting for the sa18 if I have the space 

 

not because I don’t have the power, I just won’t get any excision differences between the sa and u on that power 

where as I will have the power to use the sa18, 

 

now i wondering do I wait 4-5 months for the sa18 or push my electric system and try run a clean 1200rms amp, I have no hope powering anything over that 

as at current I have a kx400.2, 400.4 kx800.1

front stage is 600rms 2 sets 6.5” kicker cs comps on kx400.2 and kicker 1x crt8” on kx400.4  

Rear door kicker cs 6.5 coaxel (on 50rms ea on kx400.4)

Wouldn’t waste buying a U with only 1200 watts

Sa15= $590 to my door

100 extra on 250 is a lot 60 ontop 590

But 1200 isn’t even rms of the sub that’s why I said the SA

[CorNut]

I agree with going SA
