[QUOTE="DARKHART, post: 8275276, member: 544747"] That statement is kinda subjective because there are several factors that could make it false or true. Prime example, 99% of installs that are done that are what's call "a deck and four" which are the majority of basic beginner installs. This is when you install a new cd player and four new speakers being powered by the cd player. In this scenario you are "under powering" the speakers and they run for years with no issues when used with just a shred of common sense. Most aftermarket radio's out there are going to put out an average 12-22 watts rms and most speakers (6x9's, 6.5's ect) are probably going to be rated from say about 40-75 watts rms. As stated before about damage coming from under powering, it's when you are cranking it to the point of clipping the output cause you are trying to get more volume without having the power to get you there.
