Short Video Pushing the new Epique E150HE 44 subwoofer driver to its Maximum Excursion!

This brief demo of the Dayton Audio Epique E150HE-44 subwoofer shows off its enormous excursion capabilities. I did push it possibly a bit too far… I smelled a bit of ‘warmth’ from the coil… but it seems to have survived the punishment just fine with no bottoming-out....
...Hey, I pushed this thing to it’s limit so you don’t have to!
Just so you know... after this test, I did hook the driver up using both coils in series for an 8 ohm load which would match it’s published specs... it took a bit more ‘turning up’ of the volume knob, but I was basically able to nearly max the excursion out hooked up that way as well – which would be nearly 100 watts through both coils.
UPDATE: As usual, using the amp in Bluetooth mode limited the input signal. I had to turn the sub volume mostly up and the main volume up to more than 50% to get the Dayton Audio DTA-2.1 amp to push enough power to make this sub start moving close to it's potential. I switched back to one 4 ohm coil -- allowing for more wattage to go to the driver, which really helps in Bluetooth mode. When using Bluetooth as an input, the volume at which the song is recorded at will play a factor in weather or not this amp will sufficiently drive this sub or not as well. Not a knock on either device, just reporting what I found.
