Thx shady
How do I know how loud they can play?? Yes a very basic question. I just don't want be constantly pushing them to the max....

You will not know how loud they will play until you fry a voice coil!
Again we have this myth perpetuated that a sub reduces power demands on the front three speakers. It barely does at all. What it does do is reduce cone excursion of the other speakers. Now you don't hear the effects of over excursion like bottoming. So you feed a small speaker more power and the cone excursion is less, and the VC heats up faster and hotter and burns out.
The real power range is above sub range. The big power hog range is 80 Hz to 2.5 KHz and especially from 80 Hz to the BSC point of 400 to 600 Hz. Remember the smaller and narrower the speaker the higher the BSC point.
There is little acoustic power required below 80 Hz and very little indeed below 34 Hz. It is just that most subs are terminally inefficient and so you think there is..
So if you you think these
will be as dynamic and handle the power these will.
Then I have the proverbial bridge to sell you in Brooklyn!
Unless you use highly efficient horns, I can tell you it takes at least two voice coils to handle the midrange, and well engineered ones at that. Otherwise you have thermal compression and burn out.
If you play at low volumes you will be OK, but if it concert hall levels you want, then you will soon miss the Quarts.
We have been over this ground that a couple of puny speakers and mega sub will equal a larger more capable speakers. They won't and not by a long shot.
