Question for MJ-18 Owners

[mrogowski 6]

How much *continuous* power have you sent your MJ-18 and had it survive?

Thanks,

Mark

The most I have been able to send it at 8ohms, is approx 500-600. Nothing serious, could easily take more. How much? Not sure yet.

Whatever an Earthquake Shredder PH-D3 puts out @ 2ohms to a pair of MJ18 4ohm versions, from a stock electrical system, 2 runs of 1/0g wire to a regular 650cca battery and 80a alternator.

After 20-30 minutes of hard pounding, I could smell the voice coils in the front of the wagon, but they kept on ticking like clockwork after HANDFULS of such (ab)use.

I use a Massive P3000.1 on my 4 and they handle it no problem. The only thing I notice is cause I the 2 batts I have in the back are dieing the amps clips a little and they get a little stinky.

mine are still going just fine with the 4000.1 on them dno how much actual power they are constantly getting though

a PA A3000DB at 40hz sub did just fine, and LOUD!

Oh wait I just remembered

We hit my friends 2x 4ohm MJ-18's with a Yorkville PA amp that pushed over 1200 watts RMS to each sub, but that was in a 1.8cf sealed box with fibreglass wall insulation for stuffing. They handled it very well.

wow 1200Wrms! to each not bad
