Bronze Member Username: Blindc1rcaPost Number: 48 Registered: Aug-04 | also does anyone know how good the punch stage two loaded box setup is from fosgate? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=50567&item=5716997850&rd= 1 |

Silver Member Username: JayjLouisiana USA Post Number: 463 Registered: May-04 | Those subs will blow with that much power. You shouldn't go over the RMS rating. If you want 200watts to each sub then you need to look at something like 2 10" Cerwin Vega V-max. |
Silver Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 207 Registered: Jun-04 | you can over drive them a little but ill put it this way dont run a 400 rms amp on them |
Silver Member Username: JayjLouisiana USA Post Number: 464 Registered: May-04 | Yeah sure I have seen ppl run 150 watts RMS to them just fine but 200 they will blow if not careful. Because that is a thermal rating and to much heat will melt the coils. |
Silver Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 208 Registered: Jun-04 | same here my cousin ran about that in his but only thing is the foam surroud started cracking but that might have been cuz it was in direct sunlight alot im guessing |
Silver Member Username: JayjLouisiana USA Post Number: 465 Registered: May-04 | Yup being in direct sunlight can do that. Thats why mine are under my backseat lol. |

Bronze Member Username: Tom_kPost Number: 11 Registered: Jul-04 | I got one 12wo hooked up to a earthquake amp,bridged,which is 125x2. I seems to take the power fine. But I know JL's can take more than what they say. I just wouldn't turn the gains way up. Mayby someone else can help better. |
Silver Member Username: JayjLouisiana USA Post Number: 467 Registered: May-04 | Tom I wouldn't run over 150 watts RMS to those if those aren't enough try a higher end sub. Good Luck |
Bronze Member Username: JtbPost Number: 76 Registered: Jun-04 | I ran about 150-175 watts to each of my W0s till I got my IDMAX, I had no problems. |
