The most extensive tests of max power testing on the 12π were done prior to the prosound shootout. I did destructive tests without cooling plugs installed and then compared them with performance after cooling plugs were inserted. The drivers failed after 1.5 hours at 400 watts continuous power without the cooling plugs installed. When cooling plugs were used, they reached sustained power levels of 840 watts without failure for several hours of use. This is per driver, so with two drivers the numbers are 800 watts for an unprotected basshorn or 1680 watts for one with a cooling plug. These figures reflect performance at sustained, continuous power levels.
