[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1690664, member: 561023"] Like Squeak said - you do not have to use every watt that a given amp is capable of to use it successfully. Even if you are using all an amp will make it doesn't make it until close to full volume anyway. If you buy an amp that only does the top-end of a set of speakers RMS input rating then what you end up with is an amp that is [I]adequate.[/I] You may get absolutely superb results out of 'adequate,' mind you, don't think I'm bashing it or anything.
