And obviously by using the loud feature, you are pushing the driver cones closer to their mechanical limits which will destroy the voice coil.
Of course I realize that without a woofer you cant get deep base. However did a google search on bass and here is the frequence range that I found.
The bass octaves are: deep bass -- 20Hz to 40Hz; bass -- 40Hz to 80Hz; and upper bass -- 80Hz to 160Hz.
