[QUOTE="Wingman0121, post: 6741787, member: 620554"] They can take a lot yes but it also depends on the box that's in. I had a 12" Kicker L5 dual 4 ohm in a slot ported box from Kicker and 600 watts blew one of the tinsel leads off, I was able to solder it back on but it came off again due to excursion. I replaced it with a 1st-gen Kicker L7 dual 4 ohm in the same box with 500 watts and this setup worked great, but I then decided that it can handle more and put about 1100 watts RMS into it. Within two days I ripped and frayed all four tinsel leads where it meets the cone AND the terminal, the poor thing now has an impedance of anywhere from 7 to 200 ohm [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] In both situations the cone, coil and the suspension itself were fine but the tinsel leads couldn't handle the excursion and ripped. I'd say if you're gonna put tons of power into a Kicker then go with the Solo-X. [/QUOTE]
