They will never see that wattage and if they do they won't last long...you want the power for the headroom, to provide clean and powerful dynamics which 370 will give you.

ive blown them once ( at least the 5.25) the other pair are 6.5's. the 5.25 are in the kicks(Q-FORMS). The 6.5 are in the doors. the amp is a eclipse 370 watt per channel. the mids are crossed over at 125hz by a audio control digital cross over. does any one think the mid in the q-forms would hold up better if i seal off the q-forms?

You will most likely end up with resonance issues.

so i should just leave the q-form kicks alone and maybe go with a higher power handling component, buy 2 sets run them series for a 8ohm load bringing the amp power down to 185 watts, unless i can find some that are 2ohm like the kappa's. do you have any sudjestions for good mids or components?
