Any good speaker can take 3x their rated power, just send clean signal

watch them gains if it is that high

As long as the crossover does it job without phasing problem and the speakers aren't bottoming and it sound clean then it's fine. I had to put my high pass at 120 hz with my old ctd coz they were bottoming with 3x rated power. They smell a little on young jeezy songs, but hey jeezy is in another class, it's almost like playing bass sweep

Anyway you'll notice when thney don't feel fine, odors never lies

So yes, typically you are safe running double the power to a speaker, just watch your gains.

I will be running my CTX65's off 150rms@4 ohms each, and Eric Stevens (owner of ID) says that will work great. They will be fine.

ID has their own forum, it's a great source of information on anything you want to do. And their tech guys and Eric Stevens both will answer your questions //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Also, horsemanwill is a IDaholic, he knows their stuff in and out.

any other options for an amp 240$ seems a little high just to power the front speakers

sorry man, i thought you meant 100 total. One sec

yep but subs notes are dynamics too,
same thing with component....

I know they aren't getting 300watt at all time, but i mainly listen to rap and those big bass note need a lot of power, this is where the power goes.

I'm not listening to 1k sine wave all day long, but the speakers are set so they are getting 300 watt RMS. Power goes under most of the time, but it can also go higher for a fraction of second, isn't its?

Just for fun when i was setting my subs with dmm, my voltage need to be at 48volt. Then, i put hypnotize from jeezy and still checking the voltage, it goes up to 60, but only for a short burst...

In the end, they'll take anyting from 100 to 300, but there is a BIG difference in the output, midbass in particular

No. You don't understand what I was saying at all. Yes, sub 80 hz is dynamic also.

Speakers will barely ever even go over 100 watts, let alone 300, when set at 300 RMS. It is not subs at all, where they are set at 1200 RMS and they receive 500-1000 often.
