I actually have the previous model - MA80XE - but the specs are the same. They definitely handle the rated power. I have a Power Acoustik 840w amp pushing them and they never distort. Nice tight bass for rock and roll. I have them in a seal enclosure but I imagine they would really thump in a vented box. Great design with the dual voice coils. Make sure you know what you are doing when you hook em up.

Good power handling and loud. Wish they had more range, but that's generally the sacrifice you make for a smaller sub. I built 2 small boxes that fit behind the seats of my truck. I only have about 12 inches to play with so I needed a sub that didn't require a big box and still could kick. I've put these through the ringer and they still sound pretty good... and for the price they're a good deal

This sub rocked!!! I used it on my Maxima's rear deck replacing the old Bose sub. It didn't sound like a 8", it played like a bigger sub. Just don't us a stronger amp then recommended, because it will damaged the sub. I damaged the voice coil when playing it close to 500 watts by accident. Other then that this is a great sub for Price!
Sonic Electronix adds super fast shipping and quality into one masterpiece. The quality products at unbeatable prices are the best on and off the internet. I recommend this to anyone who wants great equipment at unbeatable prices. Even a going out of business sale doesn't come close to these prices!
