Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1628 Registered: Aug-05 | I'm running them on an A8000T, but I would like to give them about 600W RMS each, but I can only wire them down to 2 ohms. Any suggestions? I'd like to spend around $350-400 if possible, because I'm still pretty poor... |

Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1631 Registered: Aug-05 | Ummm...Those all get 1000-1200W RMS...but only at 1 ohm. I need that power at 2 ohms. Assassins are 4 ohm SVC. |

|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1635 Registered: Aug-05 | Yea, but each 500/1 is about $500...And I'd then need two, or just a 1000/1...Which is about $800-$1000...A BIT much... |

Silver Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 799 Registered: Mar-06 | yeah thats what i dont like about JL, ill go look for you right now do you have AIM? |

Silver Member Username: NikoncdPost Number: 119 Registered: Jul-05 | Oops, my bad... I thought you said 600 watts total, haha... yeah, those won't be enough, sry about that. Umm, the SS sounds fairly good - I think if you want something nice your gonna have to save up a bit more - you can also look at these... Or maybe a PG 1200.1? http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=471 Kicker ZX1500.1 (not too familiar with, but it says it can get the job done if its not overrated) http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=4190 WWC/Orion 2500D Eclipse DA7122 - (not to familiar with eclipse, but had a friend with some smaller amps like these and they ran pretty good) http://cgi.ebay.com/Eclipse-DA7122-Digital-Power-Amplifier-with-Channelflex_W0QQ itemZ190010793147QQihZ009QQcategoryZ18797QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Hifonics BXi 2006D http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=4200 |

Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 474 Registered: Jan-06 | hey tyler iv talked with chad about powering the assassin 12s and he said 600 is overkill and is pointless. im powering mine with 425rms form a pg x400.1 and he said that is perfect. at that power im getting everything out of the sub so there is no need to add more power even though it can take it |
|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1642 Registered: Aug-05 | What's the point of making them to take it, if it's pointless then? I give mine 400W RMS at the moment, but they don't have any hint of distortion. I really think I could use a touch more power. Maybe not 600W total, but 500 maybe? We'll see. |

Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 267 Registered: Apr-06 | if they can handle more power, and you give them more, they should get louder, shouldnt they??? |
|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1644 Registered: Aug-05 | That's what I thought. Even with the 400W RMS I give them, they still maintain excellent SQ. I'd say 500-550 though, couldn't hurt... |
|
Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 475 Registered: Jan-06 | im just telling you what chad told me, and i take his word for it considering hes the owner and all, his exact words when i asked him if i should upgrade my amp for my 12 assassin from 425 to 600 he said "600rms is over kill, with 425 your getting the most out of the sub" |
|
Silver Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 810 Registered: Mar-06 | doubling the power mathmatically gives you three decibles so adding only that much power will only give you like 1 dB and will probably make alot ore distortion so yes you would be getting the most out of the speaker by giving it about 450 |
|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1649 Registered: Aug-05 | I see, well I think I'll get something with 900W-1000W RMS, just to have some overhead, if you know where I'm coming from... So, any suggestions on amps with 1000W RMS @ 2 ohms? |
|
Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 479 Registered: Jan-06 | yeah that sould be find, plus youll have a nicer amp then the a8000t how about the PG octane R15.0:1 1000x1 @2 ohms can get it for pretty cheap off ebay |
|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1651 Registered: Aug-05 | Are they more reliable (don't overheat so much) than the A8000T? |

Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 487 Registered: Jan-06 | PG seems to be great iv got a 400.1 and it never overheats, ctmike had some and no problems just heard all good things about the xenon series. never really heard to much about the octain series ct mike siad he heard they were as good the the xenon line but i guess there still decent and im sure it is nicer the the audiobahn |
