Posted June 26, 200817 yr Somehow I've ended up with an 07' RE XXX 12" sub.....lol....Couldn't pass the deal up, so I snagged it. Was just wondering...I've got 2 Sundown Audio 3000D's..If I wire this thing to 4 ohms, let each amp see 2 ohms...that would equal 3200 RMS going to the subwoofer. Can this thing handle that much power day to day? I may end up not running this woofer, I may just keep it for the future....but if I do, I want to know if it can take the power. I know RE claims 2000 RMS, but if I keep my gains true and do not go full tilt, will it be ok....or am I going to be breaking out the BBQ sauce pretty soon?Any one have experience with this woofer? I'd appreciate it, if you would give me your summary of it....as I can only find a few reviews on it. Thanks,Jeff
June 26, 200817 yr Be conservative at first. You could try it on one 3000D, at 1 ohm. If you smell anything funny, stop wanging on it and lower the gain a bit You can also set the amp for ~2.5k. No need to use the "whole" amp.
June 26, 200817 yr Author Yea, I'm not going to put both 3000D's on it and wire the sub to 1, and let each amp see 0.5 ohm.... I don't think it will handle it.But would it handle each amp at 2 ohm...for 3200 RMS? If not, I can probably get another XXX and run 1 amp per woofer. I just want a musical sub now, not into SPL as much...Lookin for a ground pounder. Would 2 XXX's in a wall.....I know theres a lot of variables...but does it have the potential to be a sick ground pounder ?
June 26, 200817 yr A vid would be much appreciated though wild... nothing like seeing some 3000D's doing some work
June 27, 200817 yr Author Oh...trust me..when I get this wall built and going...I'm going to take a video and post it..In the build now......
