Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 7152 Registered: Jun-04 | the most I ever put on a sub daily was double the power but that was with voltage drop my (lanzar dc 12's) the only other subs that took double the power daily were my 6.5 tangbands in an abc box but that was with a close listening ear |

Canada Post Number: 840 Registered: Aug-05 | yeah it would be set correctly, maybe lower depending on how it takes the full 600... it would be from an eD nine.5... What you think sean? Given atomic's reputation.. Anyone else? Cal, how much power were you given the manhattan? |

Silver Member Username: SkiesCourtenay, British Colu... Canada Post Number: 846 Registered: Aug-05 | Well yeah that's obvious but there's quite a difference between 300 watts and 600 watts. I'll just go with an eD 11Kv.2 |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 2711 Registered: Nov-05 | the equation.... multiply the watts you want by the ohms, then take the square root of it....that number will be the AC volts that your amp will put out |

Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 2035 Registered: Mar-06 | i got both skies, pick one lol the 11kv2 is rated at like 450 so itd be safer, but lowering the gain is also an option... apparently the manhattan is one of the best sq woofers ever built |
