How many rms can you actually put through the new type R 12s?

it seems true, as I put 1000 into one of mine when I first got it for at least 3 minutes before I got worried. Amp was an RF t10000 and the song was snoop doggy dog...sounded great and friggin loud, but it scared me and I didn't want to buy another one.

Hey look I'm not doubting that people have run them for short periods of time or even burps and even on ROE some of them are hooked up to 1000-1300w mono block but the impendence is not reported on most so it may not be pulling full power from the amps so you can't really use that as a good reference. But you can use the one smoked above. Eventually the power will get the best of that driver.
