[QUOTE="TheBigPilferer, post: 8863557, member: 690294"] I didn't re-join this forum to argue. This is America and you're free to power your equipment however you choose. Don't understand why you want to say I called people idiots etc when I never said such a thing. I said it's a misconception that you have to have RMS power to power a subwoofer. From my perspective, if I am helping someone with anything system related or doing tuning, I give advice and set everything in a manner that makes it less likely that they will blow something. The fact is... over 75% of people are simply adding a subwoofer on to their factory system. I just talked to a major manufacturer about DSPs and why they haven't expanded their lineup, and they told me it's because less than 1% of people buying car audio equipment buys a DSP. Car audio is a niche market... why do you think Skar and Sundown don't sell a DSP? A car is not a subwoofer - subs require no maintenance, but a car that's driven gently is most definitely going to require less maintenance and last longer. If you want to get technical, maybe I shouldn't have said "forever", but I'd be willing to say 10 years. I'm just going to answer your question by saying that you bought a Corvette because you like Corvettes and wanted one! Hopefully you get many years of enjoyment out of your purchase. [/QUOTE]
