1. 2 hours test made with continuous pink noise signal with Crest factor 6 dB, within the range Fs-10Fs. Power calculated on rated minimum impedance. Loudspeaker in free air.
2. Program power is defined as 3db greater than Power Capacity.

* Linear Mathematical Xmax is calculated as: (Hvc - Hg)/2 + Hg/4 where Hvc is the voice coil depth and Hg is the gap depth.
