[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8681565, member: 574798"] First thing is you're NEVER supposed to look at peak power as it tells you NOTHING. Second thing is you can never have too much power as this will give you headroom thus giving you less distortion overall. and Third is Speakers running on rated power is BS. I rather run on double the power amp and keep my amp cool than an amp that is just barely enough. Running too little power is actually more risky than too much power.. keep that in mind. You have to consider that there's always fluctuations in impedance rise in any speaker playing music. So that means even if you think you're running 'X' amount of power, you're actually getting less. I'm not really a fan of bridging amps but it can certainly be done. I would only do it if your power is really inadequate. Otherwise, ideally you want an amp that actually produce the power needed without bridging. With bridging, you have to be careful about your gains as it can get really hot and may start to malfunction if abused. [/QUOTE]
