[QUOTE="zako, post: 7712478, member: 629735"] My observation with the previous generation of Alpine Type-R speakers is that their power "rating" is quite useless. They will reach their excursion limits much faster than the 110watt thermal limit unless you use a relatively high high pass frequency. On the other hand there are speakers rated for 70watts that will take a lot of abuse from a 150watt amplifier. So it's almost pointless to bother with a DMM to set speaker gains unless you know their _real_ power handling capability IMO. Simply calibrate the gains by ear and enjoy. [/QUOTE]
