[QUOTE="mrogowski, post: 4693168, member: 569061"] Firstly, don't be too hung up on the power handling, especially the 'max', 'peak' or any other non-RMS rating. They mean absolutely nothing other than trying to **** people into thinking they are better than the others. Look at the RMS rating, and even then, don't be all that concerned about it. Drivers can usually handle more power than what they are rated for, so long as it is clean power. I assume you have about 400 watts to work with, correct? Don't be afraid of looking at drivers you like that have a higher power rating. Just because Sub A can handle 1000 watts doesn't mean you HAVE to have 1000 watts. Applying 400 watts to it would be just fine. What's your budget, power, application and plans for it? Answering these simple questions will help others to help you. [/QUOTE]
