like do you want to know if it will damage the basket or magnet? cause it will fry the coil

What resistance coils?

It'll dance for a bit and smoke, depending. Oh, and draw a lot of power if it's a low resistance.

think of it as plugging it into a 20k watt amp or somthing. its gonna be awesome. wont mess anything up in the house it will just blow the sub

unless its a level 5 then it will take it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

imagine putting around 2000 watts or so to it in free air at 60hz thats what it will do it shouldnt hurt anything other than the coil.

pasmag wall socketed a gp 12d4 for 3 minutes then tested it and it worked perfectly lol
