mbdblue Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) thanks everyone! they definitely look like they push. I like the fact that they are push terminals too. and I love the black cone and baskets. Ill be buildin a box tonight to house them but unfortunately, Ill only have my zeus to test them out that will put out 220 to each. But its better for testing than nothin. And I just ordered my 0 gauge to run instead of 4 so I can hook up both zeuses. So no full on test till next week. progress box pics tonight!

sundownz Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) They do quite nicely with 200-watts each. Thermally they will take more - mechanically they don't really need it. PS: If you really intend to run quite a bit over 200-watts I'd lay down some 5-minute epoxy around the spider as you will run the risk of reaching suspension limits which will put alot of stress on the spider landing glue when the spider "locks up" and may tear it off.

So if and when I get get my 8 e8s I was gonna run a zx2500.1 to them, so really it only needs a 1500.1?

If you want to have the ZX2500.1 on hand for headroom that is okay too. Thermally they are REALLY strong, but you run out of throw in a reasonable sized box on music that goes down low.

sundownz Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) The first thing that will happen if you over power them is popping your spider off - that is easy enough to fix. It is hard to bottom them out or cook them thermally, so I wouldn't worry about either of those too much. The motor is still quite strong at the suspension limits - this is why I suggested adding epoxy when running over the rated RMS power. That way even if you lock up the suspension hard you won't pull them off to begin with. I'm looking into stronger glue for my next run - as I have burped these with ~800 watts when assembled with epoxy Before shipment I do test each driver with ~120 watts free air and add a short burst up to 175-200 watts or so to test for mechanical integrity. It will take quite a bit to pull your spider off since they all pass my testing before shipment, but I like to err on the side of caution when advising how to run a driver.

AI James Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 have you done any listening to them as a midbass driver Jacob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
