[QUOTE="dman4486, post: 5517723, member: 585160"] under powering will never directly cause failure. under powering only causes issues when the owner tries to turn the gain up further and pushes the amp into clipping. overpowering can cause failure due to thermal limits of the driver. IE. too much power will cause the coils to get hot and die. Now how much power that is depends on the driver and what enclosure it is in. my rsd10d are rated for 350wrms and I have the two of them running off of ~1250wrms in a 2cube @ 24hz vented enclosure. I ran them for 7+ hours on a trip to florida with no temp issues. [/QUOTE]
