It looks very much it's only they way Fane specify the power rating that’s changed. Suppose they are having to do this to keep in line with other manufacturers who are looking for way to increase their products perceived power handling. |

Worth checking I suppose, we don't know for certain either way if there is a technical difference.

I called up Fane after purchasing one of these advertised as 800W and I was told they are technically the same as the ones labelled 600W.
Blue Aran mentions the following: "High quality 18" sub bass driver. 800w E.I.A. Continuous Power Rating (equivalent to 600w A.E.S., over 3200w Peak)." |

Yes, I think it was just that the power rating was changed from A.E.S to E.I.A rather than any major re-design. You did the right thing checking with Fane though.

I'm surprised FANE did not answer correctly but the new 800W models manufactured since mid 2010 have an IN / OUT voice coil when the old 600W has only an OUTSIDE voice coil. That explains the increased power rating. Cheers Arthur

well in terms of sound and parameters, they are the SAME. the coil is also the same (still a 2 layers copper). Only the winding is different. With IN/OUT topology, you get better cooling thus increased power handling.
