[QUOTE="JohnKuthe, post: 8547941, member: 670903"] RMS rating of amps are just a stat, a good starting point to follow. Same as the ratings of speakers. Best not to push either for the continued health of your equipment! And you can connect virtually any speakers to an amp. Just don't ask for their current draw to be too much (low Ohms) as that can overwork amps and cause their electronic death! Likewise to not power speakers with too much current/watts as that can cause their electronic death! But as I learned, above all else keep the signals clean and low distortion because even at rated powers, a loud dirty signal can burn out a speaker very quickly!! I know, I killed my Alpine SWR-t12 slim line sub with a dirty strong signal caused by bad amp gain settings! John Kuthe... [/QUOTE]
