[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1036890, member: 555320"] Those people are ignorant fools. Not unless you had your box so big that 650w caused the subwoofer to bottom out. Thermally, it is physically impossible to blow a driver from underpowering it. Mechanically, it is actually possible to damage a sub with less than rated RMS power...but that's because of the box (very efficient enclosure), and not because you actually used to little power. If the enclosure allows the subwoofer the mechanically handle the power; you will not damage the sub by underpowering it Long story short; actually underpowering a driver will [B]NEVER[/B] damage it.
