[QUOTE="zane, post: 16077, member: 540617"] Basically to sum it up- Underpowering CAN NOT damage speakers in any way shape or form. What damages the speakers is the person attached to the volume, gain, and bass/treble controls. This is commmonly reffered to as user error, and can be harmful to speakers regaurdless of power. Overpowering is more likely to cause damage, however, this does take a bit of work to do. Most speakers a conservatively rated by thier manufacturers, and will handle more power than they are rated at. However, once the mechanical limits of the speaker are reached- obviously it has no more capacity for the power; at this point is when damage occurs. take it easy, -zane [/QUOTE]
