[QUOTE="JonJT, post: 3077556, member: 560788"] Your asking for an answer that cannot be given because an amplifier/transducer system is far more complicated than what you think. The amount of power a speaker can handle depends on its alignment. How large the box is, how well it is stuffed, how ridged the box is, what kind of box it is, if it is even in a box. And at power levels you are talking about, power compression can be a serious problem. What you need to do is model the woofer in question in a speaker modeling program within a box that you are likely to use. You cannot get an answer without doing that. Generally what you do is you model the woofer in an enclosure that you are going to use (like I told you to do), then you find the amount of power that you will need and buy an amp above that rating. This process keeps the amp you buy out of its clipping range and will protect your speaker. [/QUOTE]
