[QUOTE="fithwheel, post: 8667443, member: 674179"] the person asks the amp to do that (key word person)by trying to get more out the amp then it's capable of. Just to clarify. It's fine to use less power then what the subs are rated for. I'm actually doing it right now. I have a very efficient box I'm using on my amplifier that's rated at 700 watts at 4 ohms. As discussed earlier about box rise I'm hardly putting any power on my two 500 watt rms subs. If anything the amplifier is getting a break from how I normally use it and it preforms pretty good for what it is and how little power the subs are actually seeing. That's were enclosure design comes in. I get what you're saying all this stuff you have discussed are for people who don't know any better. That's why you see this kind of stuff when you're doing research. Manufacturers do this kind of stuff to help insure that people that don't know any better f the equipment up.That's why you see the 1.2 or whatever it was. Just know your equipment and how to set it up is the important thing imo. [/QUOTE]
