The 60-watts PER SIDE rating is designed around 8-hours continuous testing at 20-20,000 Hz with the entire set connected (mid, tweeter, and crossover) -- with any smart usage of an HPF filter the power handling goes up quite a bit.

Keep in mind that a power rating is only as good as the conditions it was made under :

It takes 4x the excursion for each octave DOWN in response to maintain the same output level -- so assuming a brick wall HPF at 40 hz that is 4x less excursion right there than our rated power level With a decent x-over anywhere from 50-80 Hz you are on track to run significantly more power. I run two channels of a 200.4 on my set crossed at 50 Hz @ 24 dB -- any sane level of listening is just fine. Most folks will likely be crossing over @ 80 Hz and 100+ watts per side is no issue at all for *almost* any user.

Also note MOST ratings you see on components are BOTH sides combined. I don't feel like that is an honest way to rate a set at all so I've done it differently. I also do not want to confuse everyone with an "official" conditional rating of "100-watts... well if you use X crossover at X dB per octave" -- so an absolutely worst case rating has been applied.

Revised ETA is 3rd week of November; pretty close to on target as of now

How would these do if I ran them off of deck power for a while? I'll be adding an amp later, but for the time being I would have to run them off of the deck (22W rms per channel).

We'll make the 19th the last day for this. Our current ETA is arrival at our shop the 23rd (+/- a day or two).

Damn it! A week before my payday :-(

I will still be purchasing 2 sets as long as you still have them in stock :-)

[arctictwist 19]

[kirill007 52]

It does come with crossovers, it is written right there.
