ok, so some speakers have a higher wattage than others. i've heard that makes them break up later when you crank up the overdrive. if you go on www.celestion.com they tell you the power rating (a 2 digit #, IE. Celestion's seventy 80, has a power rating of 80) of any speaker they have, but if i go on the peavey website and check out the Sheffield Pro 1200 Low frequency driver, it gives this:
Impedance: 8 Ohms
Power capacity: 800 W Peak, 400 W Program, 200 W Continuous
Sensitivity: 96.5 dB / 1 W 1 m
Usable freq. range: 50 Hz ~ 4 kHz
Cone: Kevlar® impregnated cellulose
Voice coil diameter: 2.5 inch / 63.5 mm
Voice coil material: 2 layers, thermally bonded copper wire, Kapton former, Nomex® stiffener
is there some kinda formula to figure out the wattage or something? i'm severely confused. i'm looking to replace one of my speaker in my 5150 combo, but i want to match up wattage and ohmage as best i can.
