RE Audio REX12D4

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?

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.

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

Well, from my experience with the woofer, I'd say they can safely handle about 300 watts RMS of clean power, so you should be fine. Just keep an eye (and nose lol) on em'. Are you going sealed or ported?

[Chamois]

Im going with a sealed box ..

[Cardboardcat15]

I think you should be fine. It'll probably sound really great too.

[Chamois]

Well thats alot of power to be giving those subs ..

Should I just go with something better? just to be safe?

[Cardboardcat15]

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.

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

[Cardboardcat15]

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.
