[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 148299, member: 30"] Re: 60 Degree DIY Mid Hi Loudspeakers are not rated in sine wave "wattage". Shaped noise is the test source Where you should limit is not just based on the voltage and impedance-but also what size amp is being used on the driver. Different attack times and voltages should be used with different sized amps. If you don't know anything else-I would go for a voltage equal to the continuous (incorrectly used RMS) rating with a attack time about equal to the period of the lowest freq that would be going though them. Yes-I agree that these numbers can be moved around quite a bit-depending on a number of factors. Part of it comes down to the question of "are you trying to be musical with the limiter or keep the drivers from tearing up?" Those can often yield very different results/settings. So this suggestion is simply a "starting point" and does NOT guarantee you will not tear up the drivers. [/QUOTE]
