[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8857321, member: 674149"] You can do this to set your gains on your amp, and dial it in to what you want the power to be to them. [MEDIA=youtube]gg2gl-fz2Qc[/MEDIA] Generally there is some room to go over RMS, it's just RMS is the "optimum output per power consumption". You can get more out of em with more power, but it's diminishing return. You put more and more power after RMS, and you get less and less more out of em. The downfalls are you might put too much in and damage em, but you are also using more power, and putting more of a strain on your electrical system. 50w isn't much of a draw, but it is something, and when you have larger wattage subs it can make a big difference. Sometimes those amps matter, and sometimes you've gone bigger and are ready for it. You can turn any amp down to make it work. You put less stress on the amp this way. If you already have the amp, then go for it. It's not bad, it's better. It's just a waste of money if you are buying new, and won't ever need the extra headroom, and generally takes up more space. If you got a smoking deal on those amps. No reason not to get em, dial em down now, and you have room so maybe down the road you can use the amp for something more. You can leave the channels open, but it's still going to draw power for em. [/QUOTE]
