[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 4482361, member: 550915"] On the whole, unless you are competing and need to figure box rise, there is no reason to test the output of your amp. If it's slightly underrated, the difference will not be audible. If it's slightly overrated, the difference still won't be audible. If you are serious about competing, you'll drop the money on a proven amp anyway. If you're building a system for your own pleasure, the only thing you care about is is it is or is it isn't loud enough. If it is, then the answer to how much power your amp makes is "enough." If it isn't loud enough, but sounds good, then the box is probably right, so I wouldn't go trying to tinker with the box rise and risk messing up the sound when simply getting a bigger amp is the better answer.
