[QUOTE="Jcsaudio, post: 8648322, member: 673752"] It will work but it is always better to use an amplifier that is 125-150% more powerful than what you need or than the top RMS power rated by the manufacturer for the speaker. That allows you to set the amplifier gain lower, still get the required power needed, and not run the amplifier near 100% of its power potential or in clipping. Think of it as a 4 cylinder running at 100% capacity building up heat and chuffing along vs a V8 doing the same, only barely breaking a sweat, both pulling the same load. [/QUOTE]
