Sorry im a little late to post on this. 4600 watts is A LOT of power you have to have a very clean signal. As far as 8 cubes goes 8 cubes + 4600 watts = Death of sub... 5.5 cubes would work with that many watts for short periods of time (in my opinion) I assume you'll get the upgrades done to your electrical so no need in going into detail on that. So should I buy a really good signal processor than? Like the RF 3sixtie or something? lol damn, Death is what I do not want. But you say only for a short period of time, that sucks because I am a daily driver. I want my system louder, but I just didnt want to get rid of a good amp.

One other quick thought, is that strap around the bottom of the cabinet the only thing holding that thing down? If so, hope you are never in an accident or you will be in deep shit. lol sadly yes. Until I get my new box. Lets just hope that I continue to be a good driver, sadly I drive with people from the south so you never know

THANK YOU! lol That's the answer I was looking for. Alright, I would use that 6cu ft than. Would I be able to keep the port 32hz? or do I have to make some changes there 2? Or could I build say a 7cu ft, and than brace the whole inside to love the cu ft after displacement?

Yeah that is what my car audio adviser told me. I think I am going to lower the gains asap because I don't want to do anything stupid to my baby lol. I only have stock alt and batt right now, and I have had this setup for about 3 months now and I can start to see the effect it is having on my electrical system. My voltage meter doesnt go back up as fast as it use to after a low note, and my car starts to almost shut off at stop lights. But what you are saying is that, once I complete my upgrade on my electrical system, I will be able to apply 4600w daily to it? it just depends. the bigger the box is the lower the power handling is. put 4600 to it and see if it takes it. if not back off the gains. ohhhh, ok. I will do. I was kind of comparing myself with that guy with the 01 tahoe with 4 18s lol. It wont let me type his name in. But he has over 5k on each of his now with his new build. And had over 4k to them before that. So I was thinking if he could put that much on them for that long, than I should be ok. Right? no one can really tell you how much YOURS can take. theres no set limit on what the sub can take. well besides rms but people put way more. you just need to check it out for yourself. Alright. I guess you do have a point there. lol I find it funny that Fi doesnt know there peak rating for there sub. Well thank you very much for all your info. If there is any additional things I should know please let me know lol. Thanks. And what good would this "peak rating" do? If they told you it took 2000 RMS and 4000 peak, would you put 4000 RMS on it? That's double their recommended RMS, so how would that make sense? Peak ratings, other than a marketing ploy, are sometimes used as a burp number. As in they may handle it for two seconds. If you put that amount on them daily they'll fry in no time. As for the 26k or whatever on four of them, that doesn't mean he's using all of the amplifier's power. He could only be using 8k and just be wasting the rest of the amps' capabilities. I don't think he would waste their capabilities? I'm not sure. But why would he put 4 alts and 10 batts to just use a third of the power? I understand his sponsers paid for it all, but still, that doesn't make sense to me either. I know that you shouldnt go over the peak rating, if there was a peak rating, than I would never go that far. And there are several subs out there on the market that have rms around 1500-2500 rms and than there peak be something redicuouless, I understand the peak is used for burb, but when it can handle over 8k for a burb, it should be safe to put 4k on it rms daily, just and example of what I'm trying to say. But you might know more than me so Idk.

I think mine is somewhere up in the 90's. But yeah, I can definitely feel that is is dying. I have slowed it down in the past 2 weeks.

"if not"- is that after it blows? haha lol See thats what worries me. I don't want to put 4600watts to it, and than it blows. I really wish Fi or anybody could tell me what is the BTL max?

But the amps are rated 2300w rms @ 1 ohm? huh ohh, I think there is something I don't understand here huh? lol. So your saying strap them to 2 ohm to 1 of the coils? What will this do? And how much watts would I get out of this setup? when you strap them its gona be 2 ohms. each amp puts out 2300 at 1 ohm. so 1 ohm plus 1 ohm is 2 ohms strapped. ohhhh, gotcha. Thanks a lot bro. I appreciate that. If you have any other suggestions or anything please let me know. Thanks again.

Alright cool. THANKS A LOT. I am going to trust you guys. Now how should I hook the amps up to the sub once everything is electrically upgraded and ready to be fully used? Should I strap the two on one voice coil, or put each amp on each coil?
