[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7639438, member: 614752"] Search youtube for "flexin'" or similar, find random video by someone who has a similar grasp on the English language as OP. You'll notice that most of what passes for "music" the bass-line is pretty much a +3db sine wave @ 35-40hz for 3 minutes straight. The Beatles, Janis Joplin, Cream, Hendrix, Metallica (before they got haircuts and quit cocaine) 3500W all day every day isn't tough. Lil wayne, Jeezy, and the like and good luck with your 3500W all day every day. There isn't a voice coil out there that will really hold that much heat for very long. Continuous means CONTINUOUS IMO. Sine wave, any frequency, forever. 3" coil can do it at 1200W, 4" coil at around 1600W. Slight varience due to wire gauge, cooling options, etc. but that's pretty much your thermal limits. It's rather easy to build a woofer that will mechanically handle that much power provided a somewhat properly built enclosure, but thermally without very advanced materials (which conventional loudspeakers just don't use) even 2000W requires a bit of discression by the end user.
