[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2152874, member: 555320"] Keep in mind that most people running high power amplifiers aren't actually using all of their amplifier's power. Just because it's a 150w amplifier, doesn't mean they are actually applying 150w of power to the speakers. If you set the gain properly (i.e. set the gain conservatively if necessary), and listen for the speakers to sound stressed, and use your head with the other settings like crossover and equalizer (if you have one, don't go boosting frequencies excessively, etc), the 160w amplifier should be fine.
