Important application notes from Zaph on this system:
"This system should not be considered a full range system, and will require an active crossover to a subwoofer. By design the woofer is closer to a midrange and in a automotive environment it does not have the excursion to cover the whole spectrum without the help of a subwoofer. A 4th order crossover between 80 and 120 Hz will do the job nicely and allow the ZA14W08 to reach very high output levels and operate without distortion. While the default power handling of the woofer is specified as 60 watts, that's merely a rough estimate in a typical vented home enclosure. With an active high pass subwoofer crossover filtering the lows, power handling will be substantially higher. For most people with an average SPL requirement, a 100 Hz sub crossover will do nicely. For those who favor very high levels, this driver will need to be crossed much higher, possibly as high as 150 Hz. That would be enough to satisfy almost any SPL requirement while operating with low distortion in the midbass and midrange. "
