Image Dynamics CTX65CS crossover power handling

[slim2fattycake 10+ year member]

Is it safe to say that the crossovers in the Image Dynamics CTX65CS set can handle as much or more power than the speakers themselves?

I was thinking of bridging the components on a RF P500-2 amp instead of wiring each crossover to a channel for 125watts each. However, I don't want to mess up the crossovers. What do you guys think?

they're fine. They were doing fine with 300watt

300 watts a piece or together?

per side. but 300watt on tap doesn't mean they're getting 300watt on music.

don't worry about this. I had entry cdt crossover before that and it wasn't handling the power at all... the crossover themself were smelling after few second

I understand the crossovers wont see 500 watts all the time but they can.
