Rated for 200 watts RMS.

Sean has had the original prototype for quite a while on a 400-watt amp - using common sense one can use a larger amp on them, but don't get carried away. We also "burp" tested one with 800 watts and got a bit over 143 dB in his CRX (legal at the windshield, windows up) in a 4th order bandpass.

this maybe my replacement for my kicker 8 in my wrecker....

[johnecon2001 82]

True, mine is the recommended size and porting for the BMs, its a SQ box, not optimized for SPL at all.

So any spl results yet from something other than a fart box like recommended sealed/vented?

I'm really thinking about picking up 4, but don't know if I want to use them in my Magnum or as the sub section in my semi-active towers i'm planning.

I'll have to talk to Sean and see what it's doing in his daily box, although, I believe he ran the "fart box" daily and it worked nicely.

Brent,

They are on pre-order until the end of May, when they are scheduled to arrive.

I think I might want to get sixteen.

Not sure if I can port if I do that, probably have to go sealed.

Or should I just do 8, with a large port?

This a trunk car, and if I tried to port with 16 drivers, the port couldn't really fit in the cabin.

16 sealed >= 8 w/ large port?

I dunno, I'm hung up on it, I was also considering 2 15's btl's.

I have 1 3000D atm, with a 200 amp alt, and 3 group 31d's, with a 1600 kinetik under the hood.

Going for loudness at low frequencies. Considering another 3000D

I just wanna make sure, that these coils are single, 4 ohm coils? I dont want to kill the amp, but I was doing some numbers with what the ohm load the amp will see.

if I get 16 speakers, I can wire them to 1 ohm, or .25 ohms., or 4 ohms......so two sets of 8, I can get .5 ohms each, or 2 ohms each......... basically I'm looking at 8000 watts/'500 each 1 ohm strapped, 3200/ 200 each @ 4 ohm strapped....or kill 1 amp @ .25 ohms and get maybe 5000? with 312.5 per speaker.

with 8 speakers, I can do 4000 w/ 250 per speaker 1 amp. @ .5 ohms....2 amps, 6000 watts @ 2 ohms strapped. with 375 per speaker

However I doubt I will get that amount of wattage, but you never know...what should I do, and how much per speaker, @16?...55 each?

also, should I be trying to use that at 4 ohm nom, or should I use the RE.
