Playin LOW HERTZ!!!!!!

[Smokinspeeds]

usually subs rated at 1000w are usually closer to 400w rms.

yeah somewhere around there.

funny thing? the 12" I have was tested and went to 1070watts before it blew. (the same model not mine)

it's all about who's making the speaker and if it's made to take a beating.

im sorry

that directed toward me?

Aren't you the person that works with brad at stereo one?

Won't a frequency cut off not let this happen?

actually crossovers don't cut if off, they just drop it sharply after a certain point. But the level should be cut quite low to where it's safe... although the the sub can go too low and the box tuning be high and cause the sub to exceed it's limits of excursion..

He was talking about a subsonic filter. It will cut off frequencies below a certain point. It's basically a high pass crossover typically set between 15-25Hz.

here's a very good vid that explains the mechanics of thermal vs mechanical limits, you get an idea how something can fail below rated wattage...

yeah i hate subsonic filters lol i can never get them just right .... but yeah wasnt trying to be an ass.... man i want my recone already ..... DAMNIT DD lol
