Can this speaker component set handle 180 watts RMS? I have a Diamond Audio D3 400.4. It will put out 182 X 2 Watts RMS.

First site on google.... anywho you would likely get away with that amp... just keep the gains a little lower..

Yeah I saw the site, I was just wondering if they can put the extra power to use and not blow.

just be careful with the gains to avoid clippage. and make sure you upgrade xovers from the 400 if your're using more than 100W/channel...

Well they are 140w RMS and you have 182.... once you sert the gains conservativley and are playing music I doubt the speakers will see more than 140w.... you'll be fine... I always like to have headroom on my amps, when the gains are low the amp doesn't work nearly as hard as it is designed too...

Just dont cross them over to low....80 seems to be a good number for me...CL comps though not EF....

thanks a lot guys, the satnet 480 should be fine right?

 

[AcidicDreams 10+ year member]

yup

just because your amp does 180 doesn't mean you have to put out 180. clipping damages more speakers then overpowering

i see. well currently im running 57 to my Diamond D3, I turn it about 1/4 way and thats the max I can turn it up at 3/4 volume. So for the Ef's all i gotta do is watch the gains?

480s are same as 400s... don't use them
