[QUOTE="Lowrdr, post: 7182741, member: 629910"] Thanks for the previous responses, I understand. The indicator light seems like a cool function. Any comments on my second query: "So now I understand about under powering, but what about overpowering your speakers. Is it as simple as don't turn the volume past the capacity of the speakers? And if so how do you know you are approaching that threshold?" I understand about tuning the amp as proffered above but barring doing anything like that if your amp is higher powered than your speakers (the 25% + rule mentioned) how do you ensure you do not damage the speakers? Is the answer simply not to turn it up too loud? [/QUOTE]
