[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 4561, member: 18"] Goodness Gert....I hope that's not a driver I gave you recently. Many modern drivers start looking like that after a while (the high-temp epoxy adhesive goes dark). The C18 and drivers like it are known to be quite happy fed with twice or more their long-term input rating. Modern post-cured epoxies allow for high temperatures and one even aligns a good pro-cab for use under power where the parameters start drifting. The C18 is neat in that for a re-cone you just pop off the motor and replace the basket assembly. My subs are routinely powered with 1.2kW (each) and with a limiter set up I have not had a failure, even with music with more sinusoidal bass. [/QUOTE]
