Tweeter Speaker: The High Frequency Masterpiece

The maximum power, which a 12 inch subwoofer can accumulator only for a short time without sustaining damage, differs from the continuous RMS power the subwoofer can withstand. A 12 inch subwoofer with an RMS value of 500W would most likely have a max power of 1000W. The maximum power value for a subwoofer is important since it specifies the amount of audio peak power the speaker is able to withstand. In some music genres, notably in certain rock and EDM tracks, bass lines are so powerful that the speakers must provide additional power for very short intervals; these bursts are called “peaks”. Bass speakers are required to operate at max power for brief intervals but maintaining this for prolonged duration creates risk of damage due to overheating. The right amplifier for the subwoofer will prevent the need for constant adjustments to achieve optimal levels.
