[QUOTE="zane, post: 7632, member: 540617"] As I have allready indicated previously- underpowering doesnt damage speakers- so I wont go on with that anymore. With actual output power- the RMS rating means a whole lot more than the peak ratings. RMS is the continuous power that the speaker recieves at all times, where as Peak power is only maximum power supplied at brief musical peaks. Fact is, many woofers out there that claim 2000 watts peak power handling can not handle that same 2000 watts for very long before they fail. If I had my way I would eliminate the Peak power rating from use all together, as it is so mis-informing, and only creates problems. take it easy, -zane [/QUOTE]
