depends on alot of things such as the size of enclosure they are in. the bigger it is usually the less power they can handle. another factor is how clean of a signal you give them. on a really clean unclipped signal you can put them on about 1800 watts daily ive seen them blow on a clipped to shit signal on 700 watts or less lol

I'm running 1500 right now on one and it gets pretty loud... but if you have a good signal and your a good installer you can run around 3k daily :)

If you honestly haven't had experience with high power drivers, I wouldn't run more then 1500w to them.

I know people with more power on them, and play them daily, but you have to know what your doing. One wrong song, and bam you need recones.
