Re: not having enough amps.

What amplifiers are you planning on using and what will they be powering?

Re: not having enough amps.

3000W is alot of Power, 500 is usually enough to rumble ur stomach and do ur head in with a good sub. 3000W, i respect that and i wish you luck.

Re: not having enough amps.

depends on how you listen to it. If you listen to it wide open with heavy bass music all the time - then your calculations are probably pretty good. If you listen to more musical material or just burp it, those calcs are pretty much meaningless.
