[QUOTE="ahole-ic, post: 6733460, member: 619324"] Did you actually clamp the power or are you just assuming that? I mean no offense to you if you did, it was just a good question to start my post with. Most people do not understand how any of this works. Your 1000 watt amp might only be capable of reaching 1000 watts for instance. If you keep turning the gain up, the peaks of the wave cannot go any higher. You will still only be putting out 1000w peak. The average keeps going up though. Most people do not understand impedance rise or how to set their gain properly. They don't know how to tell how much power their amp is actually putting out. They just ASSUME how much and then tell everyone on a message board that "x" speaker is underrated. Can you apply 1000 watts to a 100 watt speaker if the power is clean? It depends on the signal. Is the Rms actually exceeded? You have to understand the terms to know. You're not comparing apples to apples. [/QUOTE]
