How have we determined one brand of speaker 'can take double its RMS'? Some guy with a 90amp alt and 8 year old stock battery hooked a 2400 watt amp to his sub and it didnt blow? Did he use music with a lot of bass in it to 'test' the sub, or music with not as much bass? Test tones? For how long? What was the impedance rise in his enclosure?Much like my response above about 'underrated' and 'overrated' amplifiers, power handling specs are not a good determining factor for subwoofer quality. But even worse for subs than amps, because far too many factors affect the actual power the subwoofer sees (iow mechanical and thermal stress) to make any realistic judgment off what is even considered a 'real world' example.</blockquote>
