[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7856822, member: 576029"] i know that the actual output you attain is based on available amplifier power. we have to recognize how much volume a system is capable of while keeping audible distortion to a minimum. you can always go louder, at the price of audible distortion. when i talk about usable volume, i always mean usable volume without audible distortion. most people are faced with a decision: do i run active with my 4 channel amp, or do i bridge it and run passive? answer is: it depends. it depends on the amp and the components and the install. i prefer active, but that means (given the same amp) you operate with much less headroom. headroom is huge - and gives more available power while also offering more dynamic range at higher listening volumes. that is what i've noticed over the years. ideally, you'd buy another amp, bridge both, and run active.
