Posted August 31, 200718 yr hey guys, im getting ready to order a Kicker KX700.5 to run my components and a sub (possibly a MAW-15). I was curious if you guys think 400 watts would be enough to push the MAW-15 in a 2.2 ft^3 sealed enclosure. i tried searching over on caraudio.com, but couldn't really find much, so i figured i would ask here first. thanks for any help.
August 31, 200718 yr Author I think so.If not, can always build a ported enclosure.well thats the thing, i am aiming for an LSQ setup and have read reviews that the MAW-15 sealed fits the bill. plus, i am working with the trunk of a mustang and i am already going to have to aim the sub upwards if i seal it due to lack of height in the trunk.

August 31, 200718 yr It is really hard for me to say if it will be enough for you... which is why most of the time you have to try it & gain experience with what you want/desire.

August 31, 200718 yr No such thing as underpowering. In all actuality, it is better to not push a sub to its limits to reduce distortion & increase accurate reproduction of the intended sound.I think you'll be fine.

September 4, 200718 yr Admin I agree with Scott, 400w is plenty, is it enough for you? That is for you to decide.
