[QUOTE="RAM_Designs, post: 7069358, member: 566575"] Clean power is key. Subs can handle unclipped power using a musical signal for a very long time, even with peak levels above their rated power. It's when you start playing very bass heavy music and clipping the amp when you get in trouble. Like eCrack stated, there's just not enough opportunity for the sub to cool, and heat becomes an issue. Subs that have better cooling technologies will last longer in cases like this. 99% of the time you can run up to rated power to a sub(maybe more), unclipped, and play music for as long as you want with no problems.
