How much is too much?

[Unregistered]

I was wondering how much subwoofer movement was to much? I have two ten inches rated at 200 watts rms each. My friend was showing me his ten's and he was pushing the hell out of them. They were bouncing up and down like crazy but weren't distorting that I could tell. Is that healthy for the subs?

Thanks

yes it is normal...subs are designed to move alot of air and provide some good bass if set up properly in a box...

Different subs have different excursion ratings. I've seen subs that barely moved at all compared to other subs. I had a pair of subs that had so much excursion, I thought they were gonna jump out of the box!
