10 Application Subwoofer drivers in general have excellent power handling character- istics over their operational band- width. This bandwidth is determined by many factors, including driver de- sign, and enclosure type. It is pos- sible to overdrive any subwoofer driver by sending powerful signals outside of its operational bandwidth. These potent ...
