[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8844518, member: 674149"] Yes it is. Every speaker rating is given in two numbers. RMS and Peak. Peak is what it can handle in a burst, (for one second). RMS is what it can play all day, with a clean signal. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, USUALLY Peak is rated double of RMS. There's a lot of variables and possibilities, but there is a really slim chance anyone is running peak numbers or double RMS, for a daily build and all the time. It just doesn't make sense. Speakers are designed to handle a certain amount of power. Just because you double it, doesn't mean you get much more. After RMS, there is diminishing return. You put in more and more power, and you get less and less volume out of it. If you want to run double the power your speakers are designed for, then you need new speakers. You SHOULD be good with 900 into 750, but after 750 it's diminishing return. RMS is what the speakers are designed and intended for. Those extra 300 watts, you might not even notice unless you are at max volume, and even then you still might not be able to notice it, but keep in mind, that extra 300 watts is also another 25 amp draw.
