Yes he did, and yes they did, but if I remember correctly... Bill was feeding them more than what they were rated for to get those numbers and really pushing the limits of those subs and they had to be rebuilt... Where as a single Olympus will push the same numbers as those 4 Fi Xs

And yes Coot, you are correct... you stand to gain more with better sound on less power in the correct enclosure

so if i understand correctly say ikeep the md23 and just throw 1000 rms to the olympus it has more spl potential and will sound alot better doing it the the ssd

Not at all... We're actually ranking it higher.
We were giving you an example of what it could do with little power.
Myself, I'd rate it more in line with the BL or BTL, but unlike them it will still perform amazingly with not nearly as much power required... but if you feed it the power... It'll take it a smile :)

so pretty much what your all saying is i would notice a big difference between the ssd and the olympus right

I drove his truck with it at full volume with this exact set up... Impressed the hell outta me at that low a power... and I should add, it actually sounded great and woulda made anybody a great daily driver.

sounds like a shaddy character, well not really shaddy but money oriented... if bill says it good its probably worth a shot lol
