[QUOTE="Buffalohed, post: 2679323, member: 573552"] Ok another question. I made a thread earlier about feeding a lot more power than the rated RMS, for example with Germaniums and people giving them 200+ watts. My comps are rated 100 @ 4 and my amp gives them 115 @ 4, gains are at 9/12. So the question is, if I "smelled" them at max volume on the HU, this would mean they are at their limit in terms of thermal power handling yes? So it would not be a good idea to bridge the amp and try feeding them more power (with lower gains of course) to see if they have better control, like some people do with other comps? Thanks again folks, really helpful so far. [/QUOTE]
