QUOTE(ma_ttcald @ Apr 18 2012, 10:27 PM)  You are correct 500 rms @ 2 ohms. So you're saying if I did 3 my amp would suffer a little. 3 was just a thought. You'd have less power from the amp, then even less distributing among 3 subs, and theoretical gain is 1.5 dB from 2 to 3 subs which is barely audible. Combine that with power loses and you may not actually hear a difference. _________________________________________________________________ Authorized Sundown Audio, XS Power, EMF Audio Labs, and Audio Technix dealer.

I've now decided to do 3 e8v2 powered off a Soundstream RUB 800.1. Provided the box can fit.

That Soundstream is 1 ohm stable so I would need 3 dual 2s.

QUOTE(ma_ttcald @ Apr 23 2012, 10:31 PM) That's a RUB1.800 totally different amp than you said. It's also WAY too much power for 3 E8v2's if it does rater power. You need to be at 750w for three of them, no more than 800. I still say do 2 of them on the amp you already have. _________________________________________________________________

QUOTE(ma_ttcald @ Apr 23 2012, 11:28 PM) Alright the Rub 1.700 is rated 700 @ 2. That would be a "safe" amp to use at 2.67Ohm, should get about 200w per each of the three. Also keep in mind, they are rating those amps at 14.4v which you most likely don't have. _________________________________________________________________
