I know subwoofers have thermal limits, and a woofer can handle a dirty signal if it doesn't heat the vc past thermal limits, but this makes it seem like power handling is unchanged regardless of the signal. It says DC current doesn't burn coils. If this is right, then why are people complaining about blowing type r's off 500w, but I run mine at with a 1200 watt amp all day with no problems? It's because by using a dmm and test tone to set my gain my system does not clip even when I listen at the loudest level that I used to set the gain at. I know if I sent my sub a dirty 1200w signal with say a 900watt amp it would smoke the coil fast right? Well what they said just goes against what I've learned on here.</p></blockquote><p></p>
