[QUOTE="Gary S, post: 2977334, member: 568291"] - I have to agree with this. I haven't found a set I liked rated for more than 150 watts RMS. A couple of things though... I would not put too much stock in manufacturer power ratings... they can be wrong or sometimes inflated... Plus, they can be install/tunning/crossover setting dependant... keep in mind that most of the ratings are full range ratings... with a high pass crossover at the typical 80 - 100 HZ, component sets can typically handle about twice the rated power. Smaller sealed enclosures can often handle more power also. See what I mean? With a great install/set up, I would not be afraid to put up to 200 - 300 watts on something like PPI 356cs or Cerwin Vega V-Max while not draining my wallet on the purchase. [/QUOTE]
