I had about 1800 watts to them, but my electricial can't truly handle that amperage along with my other amps. Sounded pretty good,and I've since taken them out. I put what I believe to be their "brother" in for a 2 ohm load of maybe 1200 watts. Their baskets look very similar to ac, and I'm going to make a video on that once I have some time off from work.👍🏻

@christiandshatto7765 Do you know what I'm talking about? It's not power related. 1 watt is all you need to hear it. Do you know how some subs have a soft, mellow sound to the bass, while others are very punchy and fast? It's a tonal characteristic. Same for amplifiers. Some are mellow and some are fast. You do need a fast amp to power a fast sub to really know what the sub is capable of. If your amp is mellow sounding it's going to make any sub attached to it also sound slow and mellow. I've only recently been trying out different brands of equipment and noticing they don't sound up to par. The lack of punchy, fast, tight, controlled sound on the sub is really obvious to me. I wish I knew of a specific name to call it. Because you always try out different brands I assumed you were familiar with it.

So far, and I've used everything, except helix/brax, one of the best. It gives you the ability to control so many different factors. Which is why I believe it should be considered 'flag ship'. I was fortunate enough to try the new audison SW and I really liked that one too. In the future I will demo arc, and helix. The key to dsp, in my opinion, is spending time using it to learn it. Save your settings that you like, then try different settings/features so you understand/hear the difference(s). And, if you don't like it, reload previous saved settings, or start over. Changing speakers, amps, etc., can cause your tune to change, need adjustment too.

To my ears they do not seem 'bright', rather more detailed, and present. Secondly, I was able to get this set with about $500 off the normal msrp.
