| Re: Newbie question on wattage rating of speaker drivers
Well the thing is, you're playing music/movies/animal sounds ect. You're not playing test tones. A snare drum will bang out some massive peaks, but will only last a couple dozen milliseconds. That power is then split between the woofer, mid and tweeter, so with a clean 200w spike of power, maybe only 50w or so will go to the tweeter, with the majority possibly going to the woofer. A woofer is typically more durable (thermally) than a tweeter is, so that's ok.
