[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 7914989, member: 628688"] As a rule, changing to a larger box reduces power handling. The DMM method is commonly recommended because it's easy and repeatable. It's not foolproof, but it's decent and it's better than setting gains by ear for someone who has no idea what it sounds like when their amp is clipping. The math has to be accurate. It relies on the assumption that your amplifier can actually produce the desired power without clipping, and that your speaker will handle that much power in its enclosure. This is probably the main weakness of the DMM method. It also depends on the level of the test tone used. [/QUOTE]
