There are people on here that know more than me but I will try my best to answer. It depends, i think different manufacturers have different methods of calculating figures. Also loading matters, is the rear chamber ported or sealed? If its sealed, heat may build up over time. Also is the material compressed? Or does it have a lot of dynamic range. Its average power over a given time that overheats voice coils. My punishers loaded with 12.00sw are '1000watt continuous, 2000 program' but if you gave them 2000 watts, id imagine they would die immediately. I think even 1000 is pushing it, long term the rear chambers heat up and you can start to smell voice coils. I settled on 925. On the other hand my 8pe21 loaded in xt8 mid horns are 200 continuous, 400 program, I give them 300 and they never showed any sign of stress. I guess its something you will have to figure out. But remember that doubling the power is going to produce less than 3db extra due to power compression. Is pushing your system to with in an inch of its life for a tiny gain worth it?
