[QUOTE="noname, post: 8276427, member: 661590"] I don't want to derail this thread - with that said I will give a little insight. These are being using in a home setup with pro audio amps. Everything is done 'right' for the situation at hand. I'm pretty sure the driver/enclosure combo is sending the amp a decent impedance dip causing it to hit protect mode for a couple seconds. It's not heat related. Most nominal 2 ohm drivers should not be dipping so low it causes a problem for a *solid* rated 2 ohm stable amplifier, but of course there are exceptions with drivers. Also to add is the DCR of the SP4 is a bit lower than the other drivers I've had on the system, or plotted in winisd. The SP4 18 plots lower than a few other drivers I have in winisd when viewing the impedance chart. With that said there are so many variables it's impossible to hang the hat on a winisd plot. So- hopefully that cures the curiosity and we can continue to share experiences of d-1 sp4s being wired in series and hammered on amps that are only stable down to 2 ohms.
