[QUOTE="vehementSPL, post: 4090271, member: 582725"] Different speakers are different. Subwoofers typically don't take the much power. See with highs depends on where you have them crossed over you may be getting MUCH less power than what you would think Average power kills speakers. Not distortion. (well I guess it does by that saying, But distortion raises the average power) Typically for most subwoofers a safe bet (depending on sub) is to not go more than 10 to 20 percent higher than that of your rms. And on some subs won't even take that (depending on how conservatively or generous they rated the speaker. Do me a favor clamp your highs and see how much power they are getting money goes for not more than 100 to 150 per side TOPS... Now to the original kid. Do what you want. But wouldn't you feel pretty stupid if you spent all that money if the amp was fine. Just do some basic tests to make sure it is the amp. I E hooking it up to other subs. or putting the amp in another car. [/QUOTE]
