To little power is just like running at a lower volume. When people don't have enough power they crank the gain to make it louder, distortion seems louder. To much distortion will blow them. Some distortion is ok and even neededwow well thats handy to know, so their actually more like low 30's per side? and I was just wondering because i have read that too little power causes clipping. Im new to this stuff as you probably already figured out
