Silver Member Username: Yamahabanshee1Paulding, Ohio USA Post Number: 215 Registered: Jul-04 | I never said 400watts max! I said 800to 1000 watts max! that would give him around 400-500 rms! Cuz if u pay much attention the rms of almost EVERYTHING is just half the max! U must of misunderstood me! |

BTW , NE$TER - i own 2 of those Pioneer subs & would also advise u to get 2 ($55 each online) . U would love how 2 of them pounds ! - unless u only have room for 1 sub . Put your sub(s) in a ported box cause these sound 'too held back' in a sealed box ...... |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 1563 Registered: Jul-05 | U meant u are under age 18 & no license as yet ? In this forum u will have to take the time to type proper english because most of the guys will not understand & u may not get an answer - but i know what u are saying -lol Most of the ppl on here are from the US/Canada & common brands like what we have here like Boss, Pyramid , Power Acoustik - they will call it CRAP ! cause they find its overrated (under-powered) & there's better stuff out there ... I know how the $ thing runs so u can try a 5/600wrms @ 2ohms PA amp or if u are going to get a 2nd in the future buy a amp double sized @ 1ohms ... Check out some of our ppl here -...http://www.steveselectronics.biz/phpBB2/index.php |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 1568 Registered: Jul-05 | See how well i know u ! Ha ! or maybe i'm psychic too ! - lol Its strange how we get our 'dialect' sometimes . When some1 calls u "horse" here in T&T its like we are saying pal/friend/buddy ,also it means its sorta like a compliment too cause they mean that u are looking strongly built (like a horse-lol) . U could be thin as a stick but ppl here still call u that -lol ... When ppl call u 'soldier' here too its like that too ,meaning u are looking like a tough/strong/serious person ..... we are weird , i know -lol .  "wam to boss = boss is bad?" - very close , translates in proper english "what's wrong with boss ?" |
