I just got myself a pair which will be going into the box Scott N is building for me.
Anyway, I'm not 100% sure about the power handling but I remember it saying 100wrms if LP @ 80hz. I've been reommended to find an amp with a subsonic filter so filter out the very low freq's.

Anyone know more about these woofers? And what amp I should use to get the most out of these mids which I'll be using as subs??

I already have an Orion XTR800 which I was going to use for my front stage - but can use to run these 'subs' of mine if it'll be better.

Opinions welcome - cept the 'Dont use 8" as subs!!!'

Cheers.

I'd reckon you'd want a pretty small amp, how about one of those cure little Alpine MRD-300 or whatever the model number is, they'd be alright for that don't you think? Geez, I'm on fire today, three posts in a rpw, think I'd better have a nice cuppa tea and a bit of a sit down...........

I'm happy to spend up to $1000
Are there any others? I just want to get the most of these...only coz they are small and not even subs to begin with.
