[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8150241, member: 655960"] You're not going to blow any speakers by overpowering them that much. With impedance rise you never really send all the power you have to a sub (at least not long term), so as long as you have the gain set properly and you have a little bit of sense about you... running a sub or speaker 25-50% over power won't do any harm. Of course, underpowering them won't blow them either. But trying to get more sound out of an underpowered speaker by overdriving the amp it's connected to will... so I prefer to have more power than needed. [/QUOTE]
