[QUOTE="maylar, post: 8269600, member: 541144"] The power that you can safely give speakers depends on the tuning and the install as well as the speakers. That 100 watt rating is a thermal limit of the voice coil, and is probably rated at 1000 Hz. 100 watts is not the rating at 70 Hz or wherever you set the hipass up for. The lower you play them, the less power they'll take. Add some loudness or bass boost and 100 watts will kill them. IMO it's a worthless effort to set main speaker power with a number from a meter. Do it by ear, you'll be able to tell when it's too much. [/QUOTE]
