[QUOTE="stephgirl, post: 8692152, member: 660189"] Ok makes sense. So then like a 100rms speaker and say a 150 rms amp will power that speaker just fine. And do to less rise that 150 rms amp most likely would be putting out something like 100w anyway do to less rise. That 150 amp would not see a drop in power to much if it is say powering mids or tweeters only. There would not be as much drop in power do to rise as a sub amp would see. Like the example in the above post, That 1000w amp powering that 500w sub, that amp would only be seeing like 400w do to bigger rise and that bigger motor movement. So like n2audio said in his post, 150-200% is the sweet spot. 100w speaker = 150 - 200w amp or a 500w sub =1000 w amp that would be a good general rule then ? [/QUOTE]
