[QUOTE="eharri3, post: 5455445, member: 591579"] I have a set too getting about 140 watts per side right now. Something like that is in the plans but I think I will be happy with approximately 200 watts per side and the gains backed down near the minimum. Im not one of these people who think it will go up in flames if you go 1 watt over RMS or anything but I have to wonder once you start overpowering speaker by more than 2 or 2.5 times rms, how much of it you can still even use safely or how much of it you'll ever see. Especially considering in this situation you'll be relaxing the gain at the same time. Maybe Im wrong but could there be a 'diminishing returns' issue at some point? I guess it makes sense if you already have the amp and you decide to bridge and get some insane power but Im not up for purchasing 650 watts of amplification then only using half or 3/4ths of it.
