...not sure what exactly they are. Cheap enoguh I thought and sound great. I also bought some 7 (C's ? - still wonderign what they are too, not enough time right now).
Are there different model 10's like the 7's ?
WHat wattage can they handle (or should they have) ? I heard long ago that speakers are blown due to not enough wattage, not, too much wattage, usually.

    Post pictures!

    Don't get hung up on wattage. Just power them with clean power and they'll be fine.

    And yes, you are correct. Speakers are more commonly blown due to not enough wattage, because the amp starts to strain, and delivers dirty power, distortion, etc...

    $150. Can't post pics as I have only library INT access now. They were advertised as 10A's, but supposedly the guy's Dad modified/upgraded them not sure how.
