Posted June 25, 200718 yr Would this work? I know the rms is only 250 rms. The box is tuned to 35 hz (slot ports) and is 2 cuft before displacement. I remember seeing a thread saying the MAW's could take a little more then their rms, but would 600 watts be pushing it?I found a guy selling a pair for $35 each , $87 total shipped to me. I have been wanting to get a pair of MAW's since M5 showed up on the forums, I think I am going to go ahead and buy them and just go easy on the gain.What say you guys, Mark, feel free to leave your expert input

June 25, 200718 yr IME, the maws can indeed handle more then rated. 350 over rated might be pushing it. but as you mentioned, set your gains carefully, and i believe you'll be happy with the results. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
June 25, 200718 yr I agree, 600 per driver would definitely be too much. But now that I know what it is you are doing, I cannot provide warranty.

I know Mark , I had no intention of blowing them up then sending you a message saying they were faulty.I baby my equipment anyway, I would likely turn the volume down before I blew anything. Thanks guys for responding
June 25, 200718 yr I have run 3 of them, in parallel (0.67 load) off of a XT2000d, sealed. I wouldn't power them more than that.
June 25, 200718 yr For that price buy em and find out! Whats the worst that happens, you have some fun and smoke some drivers. Oh and I think the Nine.1 is closer to 1500rms @ 13.8v. Edited June 25, 200718 yr by Puggsley456
July 3, 200718 yr I have a 9.1 amp...very nice amp if you can supply it with a constant 13.8 volts or higher it will do more than rated power easily.Just set the gains with a DMM to give the 10s 500 watts total
July 3, 200718 yr Author I kind of figured my 9.1 does a little more than rated power, but with all the eD haters out there, I am to afraid to be harping on about it doing more than rated rms.With that said, gains will be set to a reasonable level should I power a couple of MAW 10's with it. Thanks everyone for responding
