[QUOTE="Jcsaudio, post: 8625877, member: 673752"] Although I am no expert, I have done a lot of reading about amplifier damping factor. Here is an article that basically states/proves it means nothing. The physical speaker parameters have far more affect than the amplifiers electrical damping factor. [URL="http://www.audioholics.com/audio-amplifier/damping-factor-effects-on-system-response"]Damping Factor: Effects On System Response | Audioholics[/URL] Here is a good blog about the subject from audiofrog. [URL="https://www.audiofrog.com/community/tech-tips/damping-factor-and-why-it-isnt-much-of-a-factor-2/"]https://www.audiofrog.com/community/tech-tips/damping-factor-and-why-it-isnt-much-of-a-factor-2/[/URL] You guys are obviously welcome to form your own opinion‘s about this. I am only stating my opinion based on what I have learned from these articles. Best thing to do is to get an amplifier that is 125% more powerful than the top RMS rating of the subwoofer(s) you want. Ryan’s amp dyno videos using the certified tests are a good place to start. [/QUOTE]
