[QUOTE="Water Bear, post: 8821453, member: 673826"] There's a bunch of brands out there that cross the line into "insane power handling." The v5 Sundown zv series gets 2500 RMS now, the v5 nightshade 3k, and the teams (if you can find them) go up to 5k rms on the 18. Sundown competitors (like DC audio) can do similar sorts of things. Orion has the HCC SPLX series that claim 7500 RMS on a single 18 and the SPL series that can do 5k RMS. Massive Audio has the 6k RMS BOA subs. I'm sure there's more that I just don't know about. It's all about what you're trying to do. For example Sundown introduced the U series specifically to depart from the high roll, high excursion SPL sub design that's common now. I'm sure the folks here can tell you all you want to know about combining specific subs with specific box designs to achieve whatever kind of performance you're after. The thing to keep in mind is power. Hispls (and some others) can tell you all about LTO lithium and other chemistries and packages. That will get you godlike performance but it takes labor, parts, and tools to build the banks. Up to 5k you can get away with a HO alt and a couple high quality AGMs. Much above that and you'll need multiple HO alts and 3+ (big, heavy) batteries, and maybe supercaps to smooth it all out (can't say about that from personal experience yet). I haven't lurked enough so I don't know what all you have already - apologies if I'm telling you what you already know. [/QUOTE]
