[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 7761323, member: 628688"] CDT Audio power ratings are per side on component sets. The pdf is for the midrange drivers only, which is one reason the power rating is different. There may be different power ratings published because of different versions of the CL-61 set. Are these the old red basket mids? It would be the set shown here: [URL="http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/car-audio-classifieds/77772-cdt-cl-61-component-set-upstage-kit.html"]CDT CL-61 Component Set+Upstage kit.[/URL] If it is the same as that set shown in the link then it's 160W peak, 80W RMS for the mids only. 160W per side accounts for the tweeters as well. Either way, this is splitting hairs. If you really listened to your music at 160W that's well past the threshold for pain. Ultimately we have to listen to the speakers and trust our ears, not a meter. [/QUOTE]
