Advice please: Over RMS on JL Audio C5

[Zed03 10+ year member]

Hello,

I'm pairing JL Audio C5-650 6-1/2" 75RMS with Alpine PDX F4 100 RMS/channel.

Is it acceptable to over RMS the JL Audio C5 by 25 RMS?

The speakers are never blasted and always run at medium volume.

Thank you

Dont crank the gain... just cuz an amp says its puts out that much doesnt mean it has to be set to do it...

Yeah if u never go past medium volume then your only using medium power, just don't let someone else hop in and crank the volume, or just back your gain down so others cant damage your stuff
