Does Sound quality rely on RMS?

[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8662719, member: 611804"] In short no sound quality does depend on rms or woofer xmax. But you may find you are limiting your output buy adding distortion before you reach the neccessary volume. You may also notice that some songs arent as dynamic since your amp does have enough headroom to throw the extra power for that split second. As far as xmax th depends on enclosure design more than anything but as you increase the volume you will likely need more xmax as you near the mechanical limit of the driver. Getting close to the clipping point of an amplifier of close to the mechanical xmax of a driver are easy ways to degrade sound quality. Most people wont notice either unless it's really bad. Overall proper eq, time alignment, individual driver level, and good clean power will go a long way. Beyond that proper sound deadening and sound absorption treatments will help more than throwing power at the speakers [/QUOTE]
