should I give my Mag more power?

Recommended Posts

I'm currently in the process of moving my 12" Mag D2 from my Mustang to my Rav4. In my Mustang, the Mag is in a 2.5 ft^3 Ported box tuned to about 32 Hz and powered with a Massive P1000.1 that's rated at 880 Watts RMS @ 1 ohm. When it goes into the Rav4, it's going to be in a 1.3 ft^3 Sealed box. I'm planning on using the same amp. But my buddy has a Massive P1500.1 amp that's rated at 1250 Watts RMS @ 1 ohm. I can buy it from him.

I'm sure 880 Watts is good to power the Mag in a sealed enclosure, but I was wondering if the extra 370 Watts would give the Mag more output that's is audiable in a sealed box. And would a Mag want more power in a 1.3 ft^3 Sealed box?

I doubt it'll make a difference.

Agreed. It may be a slight bit, but nothing that'll make you go,"WOW!"

Being as how you have it available, why not hook up the 1000, then try out the 1500. If you like it more, then you can purchase it. Best way to go.

It's not that easy actually. The Massive P1500.1 he has is blown. If you guys would have said the 1500 is a lot better then the 1000, then I would have got the broken 1500 for cheap and have it fixed. Hell, I didn't really ask, but I might be able to get the 1500 for free because it's broken. We've been good friends since the 1st grade, and we're pushing 30 now, and he dosn't have any subs to use it for. He had the 1500 powering a pair of 12" Massive CWs in his Scion Tc, but just two weeks ago traded in the Tc for a Civic SI. And he left the Massive subs in the Tc. He did take out the Massive amp though. So maybe I'll still try and get it from him.
