[QUOTE="maylar, post: 727327, member: 541144"] Main speakers can handle more power when you keep deep bass out of them. If you have a subwoofer to play the lower frequencies, then you can set the main amp filter for hipass mode at about 60-80 Hz and play them louder without distorting. If you don't have a sub then you want as much bass to go to the main speakers as possible so you switch the filters off (actually on the USX amps there's no on/off switch so you just turn the hipass all the way left). The down side is they'll make "popping" noises when you amp them with too much bass so keep the amp gain reasonably low. It's a compromise. [/QUOTE]
