i would generaly say 2 weeks without cliping.... and under 75%power
That should keep em living for a while... but really it depends on the enclosure you have too...
If its sealed then you can push it a lil more because of the increased powerhandleing in a sealed enclosure... however with ported/bandpass etc you get more cone travel with less power... and your more likely to blow spiders/surrounds and coils...
Annother Cause if coils blowing is when your sub (thru massive ammounts of power and excursion) go's non linear... and the voice coil (being hot) welds its self to the basket, or motor structure of the sub...
This has been emproved and reduced in reacent times.. but can still happen, but only really at HIGH power/excursion levels....
