I have not learned much since the Car Audio and Electronics magazine closed up shop but I have always heard that distortion is what blows speakers. They tested an 8" JL Audio sub with, I think it was an Earthquake amp, that was rated at like twice the power of the 8" and it played fine. Understand that this was back in the mid 90's though. Recently I watched a video of a subwoofer burn its coil out from shear power. Back in the day the largest amps we had made 1000 watts maybe on 14.4 volts. This was a Rockville sub on a 1500 watt amp I think. Anyway, the point is, with normal power and the distortion avoided I doubt you will have any problems. Don't play pink noise at max volume and max gain though.</p></blockquote><p></p>
