How much can a SA15 take daily?

I run a AQ3500d daily at 2ohm on a Sundown 12...Power after rise is still about 1k, and I have NEVER had an issue with it. Never bottomed out, never smelled coil etc...its about making sure you are not clipping and thoughtfully setting your filters

you sure about that?
quoted directly from Jacob

"On the other SA woofers it is nearly impossible to bottom out the ring or coil. You would have to break the neck joint to do either"

"the coil cannot hit the back plate and the driver cannot quite move far enough to hit the glue joint on the top plate. So the neck joint will break at the limit of too much excursion; albeit it's difficult to break the neck joint that is where it will go as nothing can bottom out. "

"If you hear a bottom out type sound on the SA-8 it's the triple joint ring on the top plate -- we actually do that on every burp on Sean's CRX for the best number"

Idk man I had it in my car for a couple days on my rubicon at 4 ohm. whenever i turned it up and low notes came, it sure did sound like it was bottoming out

not gonna lie though, when i had it in my car, **** was flexing my drivers side window and murdering lows on a 34hz tuned box at 1.75^3
