[QUOTE="Sephious, post: 7342865, member: 632635"] Not if you use a proper tone. Nothing can be louder than 0dB in a recording, so you use a 0dB tone. At that point, your amp can't possibly tell anything to go louder and use more power, so if it doesn't clip you're golden. It's the same theory as tuning with a DMM. The tuning tone is going to push the most power to the speakers/subs and so you tune your RMS to that so you don't blow your speakers due to pushing too much power through them on any song. [/QUOTE]
