I currently run a 2 pill 1446 and it’s incredible sounding .Morning guys , which would yield me the best results? 4 pill 455s or 2 pill 2879 red dots . Radio comp cobra 29 . Thanks
My comp 29 would drive the snot out of the 2879 ? 2 pill?It really depends on a few things, from my blowing stuff up and such, to where I am now (still blowing stuff up just not as often), this is my "thoughts".
Running a stock radio, the 4X455s would produce more watts without straining the components. A "comp tuned radio" means many different things and has as many variations in power output. So depending on the PEP of your radio, it may be too much for the 455s.
The 2X2879s (one of my favorites) will not produce as many watts with a stock radio but a hot radio will bring it alive but would still be running close to the 4X455s in output. Now, if you stick a driver in front of the 2 pill or run a hot dual final radio, you'll see some great number and I do mean great. BUT, too much drive and you'll be sounding like crap, running into compression and splattering 48 channels on 4 bands in 2 countries....
So in my humble opinion, out of your two choices, I'd go with the 4X455s. If you have a really hot radio or a driver, I'd go with the 2X2879s.
How many watts are you getting out of it? To "drive the snot out of it" you'd need 80+ watts of drive, she can take more but you'd be summonsing the smoke gods to be released. 60-80 watts drive is a nice smooth level for a 2X2879. Good watts without "really" stressing the components. 20-40 watts drive will run it but not close to its potential... the box will probably last forever at that drive though.My comp 29 would drive the snot out of the 2879 ? 2 pill?
I thought a four pill 2879 would need 80 plus watts pep?How many watts are you getting out of it?

Really? I run a Dustin comp 29 and a 2 pill 1446 for years alway get great compliments. Actually please it’s to Loud.I guess that depends on what you consider the "best results are". There is more to sounding good then a number on a watt meter. If your Cobra 29 is all hot rodded out and swinging more then 45 watts then I would say NONE of those amplifiers will work well for very long.

Thank you buddy.And that radio is way too hot for two 1446 finals. Your driving the holy hell out of that amp. Just saying, run it how you want though it's your geer.
If I had to run a 2 pill with that radio an old school Davemade or X-Force two 2879's class C that's fan cooled @14 volts with the dead key at say 3 watts. Even then you will be working that amp hard.
