[QUOTE="xtremekustomz, post: 3252654, member: 569952"] I'm not saying that underpowering them is killing the driver. I'm saying that if you don't have enough power and you start to crank the volume knob distortion increases. A head units internal power amp will start clipping. I don't know for sure what head unit you have but usually the rule of thumb is 3/4 volume before clipping. Remember that a head unit that says 50 or 60 watts x 4 is a maximum output number. It's really anywhere from 18-22x4 RMS. And a factory head unit is even less. Anyway.....is there any way you can get some pictures of the back of the drivers? [/QUOTE]
