[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7369109, member: 549629"] Also keep in mind that just because you hook a 1000 watt amp up to your sub does not necessarily mean the sub is ever actually seeing a 1000 watts. This is why I always take comments with a grain of salt that go like this "I ran 1000 watts on mine, and it was fine"... its the same as the guy who says "I ran 1000 watts on mine, and it blew up"... well either of those examples could explained by many things that do not involve the ability of the speaker to dissipate 1000 watts worth of heat. The guy with the 1000 watts and was fine may have a small charging system, or artificially low gain settings, so that his amp never puts out the rated spec. And the guy who blew his sub on that power may have been clipping the hell out of the signal, and the sub was in fact seeing a lot more than 1000 watts. Unless you are quoting a clamped power rating, you are really guessing when you suggest your sub is seeing the number of watts your amp is rated for. [/QUOTE]
