Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Sorry, but

Most vintage speakers have limited power handling (40 watts)

Most? Only the crappy ones. What we used to call "brown goods". Even the $105 Advent was paired with Phase Linear amps back in the day. Obviously, you're not talking about AR, KLH, Gale, Dahlquist, KEF, IMF, Bose, Magnepan, ADS, Altec, Klipsch, and dozens of others.

Somebody told me running full range will tear the passive radiator due to too much back pressure.

That's pretty funny.

I actually have the volume knob on the sub turned low compared to most people

You shouldn't be able to "hear" the sub at all - until there is really first or second octave bass.

...pawn shops have plenty of

I think that's the problem.
