[QUOTE="cotjones, post: 2790295, member: 573988"] 75%? no no no... it has been said on here that a bottom-line alpine 1000 watts amp could be putting out 50% more than rated output by excessive gains with a larger input voltage... but probably causeing clipping.... well that said my amp inputs are the back speaker output's from my head unit so even if the amp only put out 1000 i think i should be able to get 1400 out of it... furthermore as far as clipping goes, i find it very hard to believe that an amp with such a low distortion rateing would be clipping so much that it is unbearable... now lets go further saying that they are underated by 10%... that would be 1100 watts... with over-set gains i should be reaching 1600 no prob. so there is an explantion of how i could get the max thermal out of them if i wanted to, but it doesn't matter cause i don't want to... once again you aren't paying attention.... by box is oversized by almost a full cube allowing me to reach max excursion with the lower power supply at the loss of some of the flat response of the speaker... but actually it's to my benefit as it emphasises the frequencies more toward the mid-bass which was my goal from the beginning, leaving the lows to the 13 which is in an undersized box which is why i want the 1000/1 for it instead of the 500/1... it might be over-kill but the 500 isn't enough in order to maintain a relativly flat responce [/QUOTE]
