[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8634684, member: 650438"] You are in more danger of clipping due to you not being satisfied with the sound and your amp not having enough power to drive the speakers cleanly at your preferred listening levels which means you'll blow your speakers WAAAY faster due to clipping vs having a lot of power, not needing to overdrive or distort the signal to achieve the output you want to achieve. Which is why i have 450 watts to each one of my 6.5... You dont worry about overpowering, you worry about getting a clean signal. Speakers can handle A FK ton of clean power. However they die extremely fast with dirty power. You always want to have a lot of headroom for power. Most noobs will blow their gear from not having enough power and too high of expectations.
