August 13, 201213 yr plan on running about 7500 watts on 1 zcon 15That would be fine for a quick burp, but 30 seconds? You're gonna see magic smoke for sure. You can't run 3x a sub's rms and expect it to not care.

August 13, 201213 yr I could do 5k for around 3 minutes full tilt for KAOS runs in MWSPL... but they would get stanky.
August 13, 201213 yr i had my 2 ssa zcon 12's getting 4300watts and they would get stanky after a few mins.... i also ran 1 ssa zcon 15 in 3.5 cubes @30hz on 2400watts and it never got stanky even after beating its brains out for 7 months lol strong ass subs
August 13, 201213 yr if you make a zcon last off of 7500w worth of amps for 30seconds, then either you are using 1 large ass enclosure or are playing right around tuning only.Either way.. the zcon will obviously be no where near 7500w of real power but it can be done.I used to run 7kw to 1kw drivers.. not for 30 seconds but i'm sure with a little tweaking it could have been done.. but then they wouldn't really be receiving that kind of power either.
August 13, 201213 yr I could see it taking 7500watts of clean power for a SB run...... But expect fucked coils after.
August 14, 201213 yr I wouldn't for 30 seconds. Maybe for 3-5, long enough for the meter to recognize.

Hardly anything in car audio is ideal lol. Could he? Sure, if he was getting a crap ton of rise. But after 30 seconds of that kind of abuse that sub will surely need a recone of sorts...I know there are variables to consider but that is a huge amount of power for one sub either way.
