Hey guys I need some help. I just got 2 brand new AudioBahn AW1051Q's. The RMS on these are 300 watts to each. The subs are 4ohm DVC. I was wanting to know how much wattage would I need to reach the Xmax of 14mm. I was thinking 200watts to each would be enough but you guys know more about this then I do. Also I know Audiobahn sucks but the subs was only 40 dollars and I didn't want to pass up that deal. So be kind with the comments please. Thanks guys

Here are the parameters on the subs.

FO(HZ) 30.8

QMS 3.82

Qes 0.49

Qts 0.43

Vas(Liters) 59

Vas (cubic feet) 21

EBP 63

Revc(2 each@)Ohms 3.6

SPL(1w-1m)dB 87.4

Xmax(mm)Linear peak-peak 14

Levc(mH) 0.76

you can go with an amp rated for between 250-300 watts x 2 @ 2 ohms stereo
you'll need a two channel amp since you have two (two ohm) subs.

at 4 ohms, the amp will be rated for about 150w x 2

just to clarify..

"Xmax(mm)Linear peak-peak 14"
is a misnomer. "xmax" is center to peak or "one way" which in your case is about 7mm
"Xmech" is peak to peak, or mechanical peak excursion of 14mm.

if you haven't bought these yet, I know someone selling a bunch of used 14" Orion XTR3 15" subs for %65 each or less (if you buy several.)
Very well made subs.
4 ohms SVC
Xmax 7.75mm one-way
Pmax 500 watts

If you have the space for fifteens, these are a great choice if ya want me to put ya in touch with the seller.
He used to be the Orion rep for the midwest US. He bought an Orion Demo van, and he's parting out the audio gear now and selling it. He's where I got my three XTR2250 amps.

Anyway, just a thought that occured. Figured I'd mention it.

Hey Glass thanks for the help. I already got the subs cause it seemed like a good deal and I'm not really looking for subs that will blow the windows out of my car. I just want a little bass in the system. Those Orions sound good I think I could come up with some room. *smiles* But yeah if he is doing that I could just sell this and get those let me know how to get in touch with him. Again thanks for the help.
