Hello
I have been using TD-4003s for a couple of years (after TD-4002s). I cut them at 400Hz/18dB oct. I think all depends on your amp. I use a 3w max transformer coupled 2A3 set amp and I am convinced it cannot hurt the diaphragms. I think they can endure a watt or two even at lower frequencies.
If you are using higher power and/or solid state amps, careless connection, switch on/off transients, clipping generated harmonics or dc caused by output transistor failure can be a risk. Having blown a woofer with the latter, I would not use a solid state amp without a capacitor or a relay protection circuit.
You could also try with and whithout the protection cap and listen whether you hear any difference.
The TD-4003 is a great driver imo.
Cheers
Christian
