[QUOTE="djdilliodon!, post: 8864170, member: 684299"] There is actually a standard for power handling testing of component sets and midbass drivers. Usually one of the following is used 60Hz at 24dB/Octave, 80Hz at 18dB/Octave, or 100Hz at 12dB/Octave all high pass. Low bass frequencies don’t really “blow” midbass drivers. Higher bass notes tend to create more heat as cone travel is more limited preventing the cooling affect the cone has while moving. What lower bass frequencies can do is when running drivers free air, they can reach or exceed mechanical limits more easily compared to thermally. Having the coil have a full make out session with the back plate of the motor is never a good thing🤣. I’ve given up on IB setups long ago after experiencing sealed. It just sounds way better to me overall. [/QUOTE]
