Hey guys,

I have got myself a tr700/2 for the front stage.

For my sub I was originally thinking of the tr1600/2, 1600 rms at 4 ohms, however, i noticed it was 10 inches longer in size than the 700/2.

Not only does this pose a space issue, it will look a little odd, being nearly double the size.

The tr880/2 however is exactly the same size at the 700/2 but only puts out 800 rms at 4 ohms.

My question is, will 880 rms be enought for my re 15" sx?

Also, does anyone know how underrated they are, whether it would push up to 1000 rms or not?

i think it should be fine for the SX,
they are underrated but i dont know how much...

well as a guide the TR1600/2 has +/-60V rails @ 12V which is a theoretical 2x 450WRMS - so about 12.5% under-rated whether this extends to the 880 I dunno - when I get around to puting all my stuff back in I might measure and find out... (when/if same thing )

you won't notice the difference audibly between 880W and 1000W anyway...

i got the 12" sx, i'm pushing 1000wmrs on paper, but apprantly my amp barely makes 850wrms.

however i think u'll find its loud enuff for daily driving. it should be fine, although a lil louder would be good, but i think i alrdy turned it up that the amp started clipping :/

have fun with the sx mate

hmmm i would love a 1600/2 but dont think i can afford it, i will see, thanks guys.
