so sealed enclosure subs need more power? but is the 400w rms in terms of true bass power? if u get what I mean
I've the specs of the driver it says 175w RMS 350w max. so does that mean it can handle 350w?
It depends at what frequency. At higher frequencies (perhaps 100Hz+) it's the same, ports can increase efficiency through driver resonance etc.
hi
I have a BK XXLS400 sub. I'm just wondering why on BK site it's saying it's a true 400W RMS 12"sub but looking at the Peerless 835017 12" driver on one of the sites it says Power Rating: 175W?
The answer to the question is the driver will handle thousands of watts for thousandths of a second and this is what music is all about. High instantaneous power and low average power, which is what RMS essentially is for a sine wave into a resistive load.
