[QUOTE="jlaine, post: 139192, member: 542392"] First off, that is not a max power handling chart. That is a RMS power handling chart. I know people with 1.2kW on the driver with 2.85 cubic feet sealed. No problems... I know people with 1.4kW on the driver with 2.9 cubic feet ported. No problems... There is nothing about XBL^2 that will make the driver bottom out in 2.8 cubic feet with 800 watts. There is zero harm in using your 800 watts for that enclosure. I can't stress it enough, again, and again, and again. It's [B]safe[/B] with that enclosure. XBL^2 was designed to keep the driver more linear within it's operational limits, it doesn't make it more finicky, just more linear. Take any enclosure modeling program (like WinISD Pro Alpha for example) and plot out your linear excursion once. Given the fact that they cannot account for power compression or non-linearities with the driver, and the fact that it says it is completely safe with that enclosure, I'd feel [B]beyond[/B] comfortable with the power being given to the driver.
