[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8720309, member: 614752"] At or around tuning the port will be in-phase with the diaphragm and you will actually get very little cone movement at tuning. Improperly built port or playing below tuning is another story, that'll be like playing free-air. If you tune your box to 45hz and try playing 20hz sine waves you'll probably break your subs before the rated power. That all said, Kicker continuous power handling ratings should be pretty honest and provided you're not actually trying to break them, if you pair them up with a Kicker (or other honestly rated) amp of that rating they should be near indestructible. If you go ported just make sure you either use subsonic filter or be careful if you're playing tracks with very low material. Also be sure your ported box is built properly with adequate port area and tuning you need to play whatever it is you're trying to play with them. [/QUOTE]
