Brahma MKII Question

Hey guys,

i have a fairly quick easy question. Can i give 2 Brahma MKII 12" subs in a sealed box 2500w RMS? or is that too much not too sure where i can find the subs ratings but would 1250 a piece be safe?


thanks

how large of an enclosure? in a Qtc .707 sealed enclosure, the brahma mk1's and mk2's will reach xmax around 900 watts iirc.

I was thinking about going 1.25-1.5 per sub. Would i be better off selling my viper amp and getting something with a bit less power.

like 2000w ?

or you could turn down the gain to control the output...
have you reviewed the material on the adire audio website about box sizes, response and power handling?

So according to this file, The brahma will require 900w RMS to reach full extension in a box just under 1Cuft...

Factoring in the 3/4 inch MDF. to get the .92 CUFt i would require a box

13.5 * 13.5 * 12.6 Per sub. Not sure how to factor in the driver displacment into this equation.

Would i be better off with that small box at .92 CUFT with 1000-1200w

or Could i go with a 1.25 CUFT box and give the woofer 1000w RMS
I'm looking for a good combination between a SQ and SPL setup.

A lot of headroom is always a good thing.
