[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8779498, member: 654802"] Yeah, I do not understand that thought process either. The sub is the one that will be in danger of failure, so using it's ratings just seems like the logical thing to do. Maybe it is to find the clipping point but you need more than a multimeter for that. On that note, that is why it is optimal for the amp to be able to handle at LEAST the RMS rating of the sub/s you are using. This will keep it far from clipping territory. Just practicing restraint and controlling the volume is not enough. That one song will eventually play and one will crank it up. [/QUOTE]
