[QUOTE="brian84corvette, post: 5491161, member: 586635"] I would imagine that subs rated for 300w rms live an eazier life than subs rated for 1500w rms feeding each sub their rated power - I would expect the 1500w rms sub to last for only a fiew years before its suspension is worn down to far out of specs "loose" vs the sub eating up its 300w of power should last at least twice that long given that both are quality build subs from a good manufacture. sub mounting position and size may also play a role in how they last the test of time. subs mounted verticly, do not experience the psyical weight of the cone constantly pressing down on the suspension, and the cone weight of a 18" vs a 10" can differ also adding to the equasion.
