Bronze Member Username: InvictuzSeattle, Wa Usa Post Number: 100 Registered: Jan-05 | If i leave the Orion 2500d (2500w RMS @ 1ohm) the same what difference will there be between these setups: Four 10" DVC MTX 81044a @ 1ohm or Six 10" DVC MTX 81044a @ 1ohm Essentially i would have more surface with less power running six. Does having more surface outwiegh having more power? Please correct me if i am wrong: four 10s @ 1ohm on 2500w = 625w per sub for 40" of total sub surface. Six 10s @ 1ohm on 2500w = 417w per sub for 60" of total sub surface. Which is better? |

Silver Member Username: InvictuzSeattle, Wa Usa Post Number: 113 Registered: Jan-05 | each sub is 400w RMS (http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products/manualsQuickInstall/subs/T81044A.pdf) i am just trying to decide whether to add two more subs (have four more NIB in garage) when i have the new enclosure built in two weeks... having a custom single box with each sub having .80cf seal chamber enclosure with amp rack and lighting built for my JGC for about $2k. I need to decide now if i want six or keep the four currently installed to be mounted... |

Silver Member Username: InvictuzSeattle, Wa Usa Post Number: 121 Registered: Jan-05 | gottcha on the looks... i am leaning toward the six sub install... wondering how six at less than subs RMS will sound compared to four at over subs RMS currently sounds... |

Silver Member Username: Balls573Winona, Missouri U.S Post Number: 134 Registered: Mar-05 | six wouldnt be less than the subs rms. it will be 417 watts to each one where as you will be overpowering them if you use 4. it will be louder with 6 because it is more surface area and they will all be getting the reccomended power. |

Six 10s @ 1ohm on 2500w = 417w per sub for 60" of total sub surface." I think i have my question answered... The one thing i was trying to make clear is that i do not think the Orion will over power the four subs as that is what i currently have running... On paper the Orion should over power the subs but the reality is i have four 81044a 10" DVC subs running on the Orion 2500d at 1ohm (0 gauge/caps/etc...) and never once have i heard anything that made me even think of turning it down from the subs preformance (did melt an Infinity 1001t 90w RMS tweeter with a RF 301s 75w RMS amp) but i think the answer will be going with six subs...it will look cool too... time for my next thread "does adding more subs add more draw from the alternator" |
