Yep, running a driver even at xmax certainly isn't going to extend its useful life. Headroom in a driver is just as important as headroom in the rest... -
I posted the actual answer:

For the price of that driver and two PRs you could have the DCS255-4. Put it in a 2 cu ft net ported cab tuned to 32Hz and you're able to handle at least...Leave a comment:

That would be because there's no linear relationship between the voice coil thermal rating and the displacement limit. 6mm xmax is very short for a subwoofer....Leave a comment:

You either need to find off the shelf crossovers rated for 4 ohm loads or design your own. The latter is far preferable. Off the shelf crossovers tend...Leave a comment:

Are you talking about high passing the Carvins? That shouldn't be necessary, your electronic crossover would take care of that. Reading your post it appears...Leave a comment:

Using 6dB of bass boost at 35Hz to compensate for a speaker that's down 6dB st 35Hz is an option, but there are two caveats to consider. 6dB of boost...Leave a comment:

I agree on that. IMO a system sounds best when it replicates how the media was mixed. Surround for TV sounds much better than stereo, because TV and movies...Leave a comment:
