[QUOTE="Jeremiah25, post: 5498584, member: 570469"] It was on one sub. That is what most people would call 5kw daily. 5kw worth of amps at the lowest rated nominal impedance. Of course it's not going to be true 5kw after rise. If you want to talk about a true 5kw at 32 hz.....no it probably won't do it. Neither will the RD HW. Hate to burst your bubble. I have nothing against RD at all. Solid product. Myself and a good friend of mine attempted to get the SHW 12 (1 step ABOVE the HW) to handle a rock solid 5kw clamped, with two 5kw amps strapped on it. The sub actually held up so so....dying after about a month or so of careful testing, and some daily driving. We couldn't get anywhere near a true 5kw on it though without if bottoming out and trying to have puppies. Especially on the low notes. We tried several different boxes. The cone creased, and eventually lost a coil. We weren't dissappointed in the sub life givin the extreme amount of power we were trying to run, but we never were able to produce a louder score than the AQ on less than half the power. Just facts.
