how is it possible to test the power handling of a speaker. i have 4 completely unmarked 12inch pa speakers that i need to know the handling capability of. Thanks for any help, Brian.

I do know that there is NO test to check for power handling. Magnet material and size, and voice coil size and its throw, all play a part. Also cone material and excursion ( travel ) of the cone play a big part as well.

A small change in any of these changes the power handling of the speaker.
