Crossfire C7-V3 Series is engineered to withstand high power levels with both RMS and peak power-handling capabilities. The woofer's thermal power handling is designed to match RMS amplifier power as long as the amplifier is not clipped. However, if the amplifier's RMS power is much greater than the subwoofer's rating, the subwoofer could be damaged unless gains are carefully set to prevent amplifier clipping. Additionally, even if the amplifier's RMS power is less than the subwoofer's rating, the subwoofer could still be damaged if the amplifier is clipped.
