[QUOTE="GrnEydDvl, post: 2274369, member: 568270"] Yes, using the lower rating will prevent your amp from generating more watts than that rating, unless you somehow play some source materal that is recorded at a higher level than your test tone - not likely unless you are using a -6dB or louder tone and even then it doesnt seem to happen often and only for short periods of time in the recording. This is assuming you don't boost any frequencies with an EQ after setting the gain. 1Khz is the accepted frequency for setting the gains on your component amp. Nothing special about it, it just happens to be near the middle of the range. You can set the crossover after you establish a gain setting. [/QUOTE]
