[QUOTE="sundownz, post: 7772866, member: 549523"] There are so many definitions of power handling out there it's hard to say what is "actual" power handling. To me it is clamped power in a repeatable test (I've went over what my thermal test is already) and I leave some slack for incorrect enclosures, amp settings, etc. Typically I set the bar high thermally and rate mechanically in free air from there. Even within "AES" standards there are quite a few acceptable variations. I have customers that just use it to match the number on their amps; others want to know what it takes "daily at 20 Hz"; others that really don't know what they are asking for; etc, etc. [/QUOTE]
