Scan 23W
« on: December 16, 2006, 09:16:09 PM »
I am planning on a Scan 6000/12M/18W/23W system. I notice a lot of forumers here use 23W. Based on your expereices, is one 23W sufficient enough or do I need to do 2x23W? My monoblock amp will be an Audison LRx 1.1k which is rated at 420w @ 4 Ohm and 800w @ 2 Ohm.

sqgator,

One is enough. But if you find it not satisfying enough.... then add one more.  /92 /92 /78 /78

BTW, where are you from?

Thanks guys!!! My installer keeps telling me that one  23W is enough. Who knows, I may put a  JL 12W6 rather than 23W. Anyone here has experience with both 23W and 12W6?

But I thought you are using 23W.....or you means someone else 23W is much nicer? better box or better amp? I would think a good clean monoblock with 400w at 4 ohm is sufficient since it's rated at 225w at 4 ohm. 23W is one little "pit bull".
