hmm this should pound.. *pic*
 

I wonder if this thing really does what it claims..

It would be hard finding an amp to push that damn thing. Thats a crazy sub.

wow :eek:

LOL thats true..


The one thing that comes to my mind is 2 x Harrison Labs, 10k models...

ever see the Clarion 32" subwoofer?

About power supply:

24000 watts RMS, right? 8 voice coils. For you math majors, that's 3000 watts max per coil. I'll bet you could run it with 4, possibly 2 Zapco 900s.

I'm usually pretty good in math, but I didnt totally get your calculations..

If we have 24000 w rms.. how could that amount in 8 x 3000 w peak?

Unless you meant 8 x 3000 rms.


:o

Peak power handling and rms max are different. 24000 watts rms max. Probably puts peak power handling at around 40-50K. Anyways, 24000 watts rms max= 3000 watts/ coil rms max. You could probably get away with running 1000 watts to each coil (wouldn't recommend it, but you could). Zapco 900Ds put out 2000 watts @ 2 ohms. 1 ohm stable means 4000 watts.

On paper, you could 8 4 ohm voice coils. Run 4 voice coils to each of 2 900Ds (which are putting out 4000 watts a piece) in parallel for 1 ohm. Boom- 1000 watts to each coil.

Once again, that's on paper. In reality, you'd be tapping out the gains on each amp, underpowering the sub, and be running at 1 ohm. 1 ohm is fine when running subs (if the amp is 1 ohm stable), but I wouldn't recommend it with your gains completely tapped. This means distortion in the sub, and a lot of strain on the amp. Bad news.

LOL

ok I see where the confusion was...

In general when refering to RMS/continuous/program/musical, you usually avoid using the word max.

Cause max is often used for designating peak.


It's cool all is clear..


::yes::

Screw the amps to power that thing. Try and find a battery and alternator that will provide the needed power to the amps. Youd need a van or something with the amount of batteries you will need to push the amps to push one sub.

well I couldnt; see anything as the link didn;t work but I have seen a couple of those Huge woofers up close never funcional and it's crazy.

Audiobahn had it's 27" woofer on display in York,Pa for Hot Import Daze..IT was wild but they are more for show than actual performance.

also that clarion woofer is crazy huge....:eek: :eek:

ya sorry the link is dead..




Even if those huge subs did performe.. Imagine trying to fit that in the back of your civic..

LOL
