[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1446711, member: 561023"] However, when you take into consideration that the TDX (and it's newer model replacement, the D9) will safely operate within both its thermal and mechanical limitations at considerably more than the rated RMS input what say you then? If the assumption is that this particular driver was given a firmer suspension than a competitor's offering for the higher power handling when you considerably increase the power handling further does the assumption follow that the suspension will be that much stiffer? I reckon so. Can't say I have heard of anyone slinging all the glue off of the spider on their Diamond sub while driving the heck out of it, though. I've seen some Diamond D9 12" subs (coils wired in parallel, by the way) get fed off of D61500.1 amps running at a 1 Ohm load. The higher the volume knob on the source unit was cranked the more volume the subs produced. This was in a vehicle setup specifically for big audio and the 1500.1 amps were getting a full 14.4vdc and it is assumed that at the time they were doing (at the minimum) rated output seeing as the birthsheets for both amps showed factory testing yielded over 1800 watts into a 1 Ohm load.
