[QUOTE="trini23, post: 1018877, member: 562172"] You can blow a speaker with less than full power if the amp is clipping because you don't have enough power to power it properly. 600 watts peak but what is the RMS rating?. Sounds to me like you should be using that amp to power your components Great info, please tell me more, my amp [alpine mrv T-4200] is in bridged into 4ohms (please explain) which indicates that the RMS is either 240 or 340 W depending on voltage which can be 14.4 or 12.0 ( i'm not which i am using, but based on the subs 600W capabilities i'll guess the 340w option). How can i tell if the amp is clipping, i have seen no signs (what are they) of distress by this amp and the bass is very clean and not distorted even at maximum volume (which is frequently the case). When the sub was first installed it did not produce the bass signal periodically for 10 -20 second intervals then resume normal playback, after about three weeks this never occurred again and i was in love with performance since then. i will receive the sub back in two days and i will have the dealer trouble shoot in issues, what are some questions or concerns ishould have the dealer look at based on the onfo provided. also keep in mind that i am looking for some suggestions on great speakers to replace my stock crap. suggestions anyone? i reaally like the comps upfronts suggestion, but what brands offer great value in my $300 budget (2 pairs) and does it look like i need to reaassign my amp and go with a dedicated mono amp for the sub (what's good $200 max).
