[QUOTE="m83x, post: 7672, member: 541360"] both sides have made their point clearly...and now im a bit confused.. hehe but zane, i just want to clarify what he said, this --> "If driving a speaker with low power would cause them to fail, speakers would fail every time you lower the volume on the head unit" you see, when you play a music on low volume on a stock car audio system, there's no "stress" on the HU coz its not delivering everything its got, even if its on full blast, still there will be no much stress coz they are matched properly by car manufacturers... (but still there is distortion on the speakers) unlike a low power amp and a high power sub, when u play it low.. its in the wont do damage, i know that.... but when the time comes you crank it, there will be no stress on the HU but there is on the amps... as well as the subs, and i think there's a big difference in stock car audio and a car audio system upgrade... above the stock RMS wattage (which i think is 45x4 or at least 60w) or full blasting the volume for stereos is a whole new story coz more wattage means more heat, more complicated and needs to be really accurate than the stock ones regarding watts and power handlings. zane, can u give your comment bout what HE (i dunno the name, hehe) said regarding that matter about "low volume head unit?" thanks..[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
