[QUOTE="businessjournal, post: 3499536, member: 578998"] RMS and thermal power handling specs are set for a reason, of course, so how is it that some subs are able to take more - sometimes MUCH more - than they're rated? it differs across subs, of course, but how does one tell if it's safe -- aside from what you would hear on the forums and such? I've got a guy in another board claiming that he can send 500 watts to an 8" sub rated at 150 watts RMS "as long as it's clean power." I call bullshit on this dude because we're not talking about AA or SS here - it's MB Quart. [/QUOTE]
