Chamois Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Whats the max safe watts i can feed these subs? I know their rated at 175, but i wanna nearly double that .. Like would 325 watts each be okay? Quote 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardboardcat15 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I owned this subwoofer for about a half a year before I upgraded and I would say yes you could, just be careful with listening loud for too long, you might get the coils stinky. I blew the subwoofer a couple months ago due to a cracked dustcap, and it took me 15 minutes of beating on 500 watts RMS for to actually smoke. They're great woofers for the price.

Chamois Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Well i listen to my music at like 50% or 60% so is that considered loud? I would have 3 of them wired to a Kicker ZX1000.1 The amp pushes 1275 @ 2 ohms So it would be a 2.67 ohm load, and maybe be pushing like 1000 watts Edited September 9, 2010 by Chamois Quote 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep an eye (and nose lol) on em'. Are you going sealed or ported? Quote My Channel on YouTube.

Cardboardcat15 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I think you should be fine. It'll probably sound really great too. Quote My Channel on YouTube.

Chamois Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Well thats alot of power to be giving those subs .. Should I just go with something better? just to be safe? Quote 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardboardcat15 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) Well, if you want to go with something better, and still wanted to stick with 3 12's, 3 of the RE Srx 12's would be perfect for your situation. They're rated at 300 rms, I own a pair of the 15's they have great sq and get pretty loud too. Edited September 11, 2010 by Cardboardcat15 Quote My Channel on YouTube.

Chamois Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Im basically am looking for Deep bass over SQ .. Because i have my Mids and High which will take care of that .. Would you say that they are deep enough? Like i want Mirror shaking, roof flexing bass lol Quote 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardboardcat15 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Well, most any kind of subwoofer can give you bass that'll shake your car, you just have to have a good box and a decent pair of woofers to do it for you. Do you have any space limitations? Like is it going in a truck or something? Because otherwise I would recommend looking into a larger woofer. Quote My Channel on YouTube.
