How close to peak power do you all push your components?

[QUOTE="audiobaun, post: 8681758, member: 634282"] Keep in mind, @4 ohm thatJL is 70x4 thats at 4 ohms.When you bridge it you will be lowering the ohm load down to 2 ohm load with approx.Double the power/ but that is at a 2 ohm load.If those speakers are not rated for a 2 ohm load,.. expect failure in the near future.Look at the RMS factor on speakers and ohm values.. never at Peak.If you are 50-60+ RMS power above the Speakers RMS value and at that ohm load, you can expect the amplifier to run at a less stress threshold as well as running cooler and lasting a lot longer than being maxed,or ran hard on the daily. Yet, finding that sweet spot of 50-75 rms on a 100 watt rms speaker is just fine as well tuned properly.I wouldnt place a 2 ohm load on a 4 ohm speaker load.
