So i'm looking into getting a single Resonant Engineering SE 12" 4-ohm dvc subwoofer. Im hoping i can find someone here who has an idea to what sort of amp i'll need to power this sub; I've searched around the internet a bit and so far i've only found the RE Forum on SoundIllusions.com, but you ahve to have a moderator approve your account before you can start posting.. my guess is that a single sub wont handle much more than 600 watts? thats what im looking to give it, since its pretty easy to come by a JBL or Kicker 600 watt amp... Also, what sh ouhld i look into as far as a box (mainly looking for this subs SPL abilities), but i want somethign thats going to leave a little space in my tiny little saturn trunk
I was sort of hoping to be able to pull off a sealed box... but im not really too concerned as long as i can fit some grocerys and stuff in the trunk still...
Thanks,
Keith

i recently bough an RE re series 10", it isnt bad, but i sold it to a friend and the box its in isnt sealed completely so it doesnt sound the best, but its easy to tell it doesnt play around.. it gets decently loud for a little 10", but its only getting like 150rms which is close to its recommended rms.. im sure the 12" can easily handle 200rms or a little more if you are careful..

oh, my bad... i misread.... anyway yeah it says the RMS on RE's site.. click products, subs, SE series. then click TS, and it says at the top..600rms is the power handling..

If you go to RE's site and select product, then the SE, and then the TS (of the SE), across the top of the in all caps 600 W RMS and 1200 W MAX. Thats what you are looking for right?

Oh shit, i'm slow i guess.
Someone give me the "idiot of the day" stamp for that one.. i deserve it.. So any recomendations for an amp & box? anyways i can get decent performance out of it without putting too much strain on the electrical system, as i don't have the money to upgrade that for now.
