The peak spec for the LMS-5400 is 8000 watts, but I'm guessing that's way way underrated.

I have yet to push my own LMS to it's limits. I'm hesitant (more careful) using my Crown XTi 4000 since I HAVE already fried a 400 watt VC accidentally switching the wires from the LMS to a Cadence 18" with the 400 watt rating without first shutting down the amp. Everyone makes mistakes in the heat of excitement
A fried VC is hard to see unless you remove the damaged parts. I'm leaving the the Cadence speaker as is while I decide whether or not to have it reconed.
The Cadence voice coil of course had bottomed out and then blew the dust cap off just before the VC separated from the cone and tore off almost all of the suspension spider. The VC remains attached to the wire leads and the surround was not torn from the basket or damaged.
I checked the VC for electrical continuity and of course there was none.
