[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8822000, member: 675210"] Oh man... These 6.5" mids can NOT handle that Punch P500x2 full tilt 0db gain set for more than 15min straight. I could smell the coil on the 6.5". I went to pick up lunch for the shop today and decided some Fleetwood Mac was in order. Volume level 40 (max) 10 min down the road, a brief break while I grabbed the food then 5 min on the way back before I could smell the coil. The speaker still works just fine as I let it cool off at a lower volume so it would still pass air over the coil. 250w rms to a 180w rms speaker. I think that says something for this speaker... it can handle some abuse. I think normal listening levels and this will play all day long. I listened to music with the volume level at between 30 and 35 all the way home for an hour and no smell, no issues. I am guessing the amp is more in the speakers rms range at those volumes.
