I just built a SI HT 18 sub in a sealed box.
I wanted to hear/test it out, so I took the lead off my shaker amp and connected it to the sub.......that amp does 120 watts per channel.
All went well and it sounded good.........goes low/shakes everything and gets pretty loud, considering it can take 600 watts rms.
If I crank it way way up and it hits a super low note....like 10hz and under the clip light flashes for that instant and then goes away running only 120 watts to it. I know clipping is very bad.
But my thought is that it performs soo well on 120 watts, I could add a second one and run both from the inuke 1000.
The Inuke will do 330 ish real world watts to each channel.
Any danger..other than clipping from doing this ?
I understand DB max output will suffer, but with only 120 watts I can hear it 75 foot outside the house and it is plenty loud inside. The original plan was to bridge the Inuke 1000 so it would do approx 670 watts into this single 18, but I am not sure I need that much power.
Whats everyones thoughts on running 330 watts to a 600 watt rms speaker......?
