It will take the 300wrms and lots more easy if you send it a clean signal.

why does a 'clean' signal help? it doesn't, other than sound nicer. but a 300WRMS 'clean' signal is the same power as a 300WRMS 'highly distorted' signal, both of which the sub will handle fine. also, check out the shape of the signal from music on a cathode ray oscilloscope: all jagged and all over the shop. not 'clean' like a sine wave. so i think that's all a misconception. :P

coustic amps are very good. something like the 800DB ;) will be at least as good as something like an alpine V-power MRP-M350.

i agree with shiny. considering that i own 2, 4 channel coustics and a 401db coustic mono block. coustic are well know for their quality and i have never had any problem with their reliability.

my mono block isnt the current model is from the 03/04 line up.

I'm running a Adire 12" Shiva in the same box, and to be honest its pretty well sealed inside once you correct the binding post mounting (lets just say speaker carpet doesn't seal to well, no matter how hard its compressed...)

The biggest problem is that the curvature on the top edge is so close to the edge that the sub mounts against. I sealed mine with rubber draft strips really well, but that curvature is a nightmare, and I can hear my sub the instant this spot fails. The tiniest leak takes the sub from pretty damn stunning to average and undefined.

Drop a single 90mm OD port (drain pipe) 400mm long into the 35lt box.
