So I found a video of someone disassembling the Aiwa Exos-9, and it's kind of a shock, considering they claim it to be 200W. But...is that true?
For my taste, it definitely doesn't sound like it. With the EQ off, to me it sounds thin, with like no low-end punch unless you seriously rack up the volume. With the EQ to my taste (or yours but with bass maxed) it becomes distorted even at low volumes on such bass heavy music. Put your ear close to it and there's a possibility the voice coil is hitting the magnet. Around 45/60Hz it distorts worst because those frequencies are more boosted than others. Upon removing the speakers after a sound test (no EQ) it becomes a surprise to the actual wattage. My father doesn't believe it only has so much wattage, which kinda sucks as there is no way a 6.5" woofer would handle 200W. But here:
