The main reason I am leary to hit them with more gain or power is I had this same amp connected to a Boston Accoustic 12.5LF and I smoked the voice coil out of it. That was a $500 mistake, and these SLS 300's are $500 each so you can see I'm not too kean on it, but if you are certain they will take it, then I will take your word for it.

They'll be fine with 1000rms on the pair. You wouldn't be the first to do it. Try it and see if the difference is enough. If it isn't then you know you have to switch to new drivers.

Probably the hottest subwoofers to come out for awhile......!! Awesome SQ woofers, with tons of power handling and output. Very cool V-Cone design too.

www.hertzaudiovideo.com

Click on the English version, unless your Italian is good.........and check out the third section on this page for the Mille Subwoofer and new Hertz amplifiers that are coming soon too.

10" are gonna be around $800-$900 12" - $900-$1000 and 15" around $1200-$1400...........pricing will be confirmed soon. And yes, that is each !!

Still cheaper than the Focal K2P subs...........much newer design, 30% better cooling than the JL W7 woofers and 1200-1500 watts RMS Power Handling on the various sizes.

Hope they are better than the Mille components :barf:
