[QUOTE="denim, post: 8128858, member: 545441"] [B]Nope. Music is dynamic and your amplifier is very rarely sending full power or ratted power. That is unless you are listening to 0db test tones all the time at near clipping. Perfect example, I have ran a single Xcon 12D2 (ratted for 1750rms) in a sealed 1.1 enclosure, off a small 2 channel (240 mono @ 4ohm mono) for a while and every single person that heard a demo loved the sound [/B][B]and[/B][B] output.
