Posted November 9, 201113 yr I'm planning on buying a new system during winter for next summer and I wanted to go with 2 15" sub in a ported box. I know its a hard question to answer but how much power will I need to run them? I was looking at the RE SEX15D4 but I havent made up my mind on them 100% yet. But in general how much power would be nneded to run dual 15"? Should I go with 1 amp for both or 1 amp per sub?
November 9, 201113 yr Find where the sub rates its rms power.. times by 2. Shoot for that much power if you can afford it.
November 9, 201113 yr Author Yes.Yes for ???Find where the sub rates its rms power.. times by 2. Shoot for that much power if you can afford it.Ok so the RE SEX15D4 rms is 600 so something around 1200 rms, now would it be better to run 1 sub per amp?
November 9, 201113 yr Give them as much power as you want, if its above rated expect them to fry. Manufacturers recommend a maximum power input for a reason.
November 9, 201113 yr Don't think it will matter. For 1200 watts I would run one amp. Probably cheaper to run one.
November 9, 201113 yr No don't run one sub per amp. Just get an amp to run both. I would get a 1500w amp just to have a little more then rms.

November 9, 201113 yr Great choice on sub by the way. I heard a pair of the sex's in person on 1500 watts and they sounded great!
