[QUOTE="Sweet'n Low, post: 6588696, member: 613860"] Is it bad to run your speaker over or under it's RMS? If so which is worse? [COLOR=Red]I know in a Subs case, you can have clipping at too low watts.[/COLOR] I doubt running a speaker at it's peak non-stop can be good for it.. I'd hate to sound like a total noob but I feel like I need to know while picking out my AMPs. Example: I bought a Denon DCA500 and it's RMS is 50 while my speakers RMS is 70. Both at 4ohm. Anything to worry about? I get the feeling it is. I'm just looking to see my speakers to their potential. [COLOR=Red]Red[/COLOR]=Wrong or Corrected within thread. [/QUOTE]
