The duration of high volume levels has a lot to do with subwoofers finding their final resting place in a landfill. 1200w of music being played for, say, an hour is a lot different than the few seconds to minutes most subs see in competition duty. If this is a daily driver, I'd stay below the manufacturer's recommended power limits. Why? Who knows how they came up with them...better safe than sorry. (FWIW: I've never blown speaker or subwoofer)</blockquote>
