The power handling stated is the electrical power handling, how much power the driver can take without frying. The mechanical power handling is related to the Xmax and Xmech. Usually the Xmax is used to derive this. A speaker with 10000 Watts of powerhandling and 1 mm Xmax is about as useful as a 1 W speaker with 10000 mm Xmax. More expensive drivers will therefore have both increased Xmax and power handling.i must say im a little confused. i had assumed that a 500W speaker should be powered by a 500W amp, excuse my if that seems a novice statement but really im a bit lost
In your case the driver will be mechanically limited before it's electrically limited (at low frequencies).

I used black widows for about 15 years in their original cabs and I only ever had one fail on me. But, these drivers are only good for bass reflex cabs IMHO.
It would be a waste of money to try your black widows. smiley20

I would advise you to get an active filter. Passive filters can be found online (I think Beyma has some in their assortiment) or they can be calculated and build if you can get the parts. Passive filters that can handle the power aquired for PA are usually quite large, weighing many lbs/kilo's and therefore costly.
Cubo Extended has the exact same outer dinmensions as Cubo Standard. The difference is that it has a panel added at the beginning of the horn, extending the horn path and making the chamber a bit smaller. From the outside it's not possible to tell the difference between Cubo Standard and Extended (as the horn path is extended).i took a look at the extended version of cubo 15. is it simply 15cm deeper than the normal version? means the horn mouth is longer and the chamber volume a bit bigger?
That depends:i've six achenbach sub 15. do you think it's worth the upgrade and build six cubo15's instead?
The Achenbach is a basreflex cabinet meaning it can be crossed higher but has lower sensitivty and a lower SPL-max. If you need to cross higher then 110 Hz, Cubo 15 might not be a good idea (usually crossed between 80 - 125 Hz). If you aim at maximum output (larger capacity) I do think it's a good choice.
