Carroot1 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Alright so im curious about upgrading my amp in the future. Right now i have an AQ1200D with 2 SA 12's which are 600 watts rms each. If I get the step up from the AQ1200D, the 2200D will I overpower these subs to death? The xmax is .7 inches and i think im hitting that right now so if it goes over 17 will i loose control of the cone and die? lol sorry if im not making sense but im just wondering if its a good idea to upgrade say in a few months?

Carroot1 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 that would be the fastest ban ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finkster Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 If it ends up being too much power, just back off the gain on that amp. Quote DAT 4125------>RE XXX comps active Eclipse cd7000 I serve drunks for a living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullz Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 People have put over 2k per woofer in burp boxes so i'm sure its capable of handling 1k daily as long as you don't begin clipping them to death and as long as you don't make a huge box the xmax isn't really a factor. If you hear the sub bottom out then you have a problem but until then i don't think you'll have any problems as long as its within reasonable box size.
