[QUOTE="chris229, post: 82175, member: 542614"] The way I see ratings is---- they are thermal numbers---- the wattage at which the coil would melt down any mechincial interference BEFORE thermal melt down is just bad designing or cost cutting-------- UNLESS it is meant to be used at higher frequencies. So it should be noted 8" subs and 6x9 that playing bass heavy music UNcrossed over to these little things is going to cause poping---- as they are meant to be highpassed for ratings on 6X9's, mids, highs it should be thought of as free air numbers----- no need to have a sealed box when there not meant to play bass-------even if the response chart says it has output in bass range Where did you hear that subs are tested in bandpass boxes???---4th or 6th orderdo you have any links or book names?? who says the manufacturer or a box program?could be but the X MAX is just a measure of how far the motor assembly can push the cone really what size are they?
