[QUOTE="shredder2, post: 8617811, member: 674047"] Having extra clean power and the ability to upgrade is a GOOD thing IMHO... I'll grant you that a pair of 200 watt subs on a 1600 watt amp may be overkill for some... but even those 200 watters boxed correctly and given good clean power will impress the casual listener... and eventually most look to upgrade once bitten by the bug (car audio) and look for more volume... and I believe a $200 CAB is a solid option to drive some upgraded mid level subs or one higher powered one... A Clean +1500 watts is better than a 500-800-1000 watt amp being near it's limit IMO...
