[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8720339, member: 614752"] Brands I'd consider good will rate woofers at a point where it's nearly indestructible, that way people who don't know what they're doing won't break them and if any warranty claims come in with, say, burnt coils, they KNOW that it was abused. Anyway, Kicker box specs are going to be the box too small and the tuning too high. I'd highly recommend making a post and someone with some box design software handy can help you dial it in a little better. Again, if Kicker rates those 600W and you get an honestly rated 600W amp to pair it with you should be safe unless you're being very abusive. You would be hard pressed burning a 2" 4 layer coil off an amp that can only make 600W even with a hard clip. Clipping isn't some mysterious boogeyman that automatically blows speakers or everybody listening to rock or metal (the sound of which is largely created by driving their amps into clipping) would be blowing **** left and right. In fact the difference in power (heat) between a square wave and sine wave is only .707 which is where we get RMS vs peak to peak. This can be proven close enough by just drawing two waves with equal amplitude and wavelength on graph paper, one square one sinusoidal. Fill in the waveforms with color and count the area with the squares. Everything within the waveform is power. [/QUOTE]
