bkolfo4 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 What is "underpowered"? Had a guy call me not long ago and ask about an AA chaos. Once I said they were rated 800 watts, he was nit interested because he only had 600 and did not want to blow it. I tried to explain a few things to him, but when I started talking about the woofer getting less than 800 watts at lower volumes even if it was on a 800 watt amp, he stopped me. He let me know he had been on the phone with crutchfield and I was the one confused. "A 600 watt amp puts out 600 watts all the time, it is the voltage that is changing." At that point, I told him about the 600 watt AA Arsenal. Back on topic - I would personally go with one 18 over two 12", but if you have room for one 18, why not go for two 15s?

EricR Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 18 Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?
