[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8714622, member: 679555"] As long as your amp no longer overheats afterwards. From what it sounds like you've already done the equivalent of that method. My recommendation was to achieve no thermal issues since the amp is CEA rated for that RMS wattage. Above it is touchy territory that [B][I]is[/I][/B] worth claiming, but thermals can be annoying to deal with on amps that don't have much slack beyond their ratings (like Kickers tend to be). If that website's method works for you and you're able to avoid clipping as well as thermals at the same time that's the ultimate goal and it will give you the best result. Alternatively if you find thermals become a frustration again using the new settings (hot summer days or less air circulation around the amp can cause new bouts of thermal cutoffs) just know the "correct setting" for that amp and that environment is somewhere in the narrow gap between the one you find using the website's method and using the ohms law method I listed.
