Doesnt sound like this is gonna be successful at all
Not only cant you spell, but you couldnt even form an informative question that made sence

Perhaps you better have a spell check on yourself too...its sense not sence, along with a few missing apostrophe's (go google it).

well 2 ways to look at it....little guy in small town usa.....only shop that can f/g and make custom boxes.....do custom installs in the county. and when they compare it to subs sold here......its way more than what they can get around....its a alpine type R customer. the subs they see that are"3 k" are the type X ....i put 1500 watts on a set of audiopipe tapr12's in a custom box tuned low and killed the kicker L5 12's.....if i was in seattle or some place were comps were around and guys know more about it, i could speak more like 3500 watts....but i have to speak the same language they do to make it ez on them to under stand A B comparison.....but like i said....im not braggin or on a ego trip....just wanted to know who had 5 k subs......but i am cool with you point 100%

Geography plays no role in speaker power handling. And, your logic is that since you use peak power ratings to advertise your Alpine subs, you feel the need to use peak power ratings to advertise your HC. IMO part of a local shop owner's responsibility (and opportunity to gain trust of local customers) is to educate. That is a self-created problem on your part, not Alpine's or your customers'. Stating peak power ratings does not educate, it perpetuates a common misconception within this hobby/industry.

The enclosure is not the key to every power rating. Speaker power handling should be view in two portions, thermal and mechanical limits. Power ratings from the manufacturer are almost exclusively thermal limits, as the manufacturer has no idea what size/type/alignment enclosure their speakers will be placed in. Thermal ratings on the other hand are based on sheer heat absorption and dissipation, something the manufacturer has a lot of control over, and which the enclosure affects little. Mechanical limits, as in how much power the speaker can handle before reaching xmech, is what is heavily dictated by the enclosure, and has very little to do with advertised power ratings.
