I just wanted to see this thing @ 10hz and how it acted in slow mo. Turns out it was taking it's RMS Rating pretty nicely just sitting on the stool. Then i decided to push it a little harder. Then it let out some smoke and a crackle....but then it kept working. So i pushed it even harder. haha. Yes, i ruined a perfectly good speaker in the name of fun. But the good news is, i am giving it to someone and also tossing in a matching, still brand new, free sub Tag someone in the YT comments and i might consider you when i go live in a few days!
