[QUOTE="SmartAsss, post: 7175684, member: 629857"] Hell no its not too much... what the hell is everyone thinking? Its called a gain knob! or wire it to 4 ohms if its dvc. I always try to buy my amps with double the rated power of my subs or speakers. I have never blown a speaker in my 10+ years in audio. Having "headroom" is important. It allows for better dynamic range. Also, the amp isn't stressed (no clipping, runs cooler, lasts longer, runs more efficient) not to mention making up for overrated power specs of the amp manufacture. A speaker will let you know when its getting too much power when its tone changes and starts sounding distorted, or mechanically bottoming out. just be mindful of the gains and that thing will never blow. The guy who mentioned the cap is correct, if your electrical system is not up to the task then adding a cap only adds more load to the charging system because now it has to run the amp and charge the cap. same goes with the battery too. I think I might be a god send to this forum if this is the way everyone thinks. [/QUOTE]
