[QUOTE="Heide264, post: 6210409, member: 610716"] If you are worried as far as starting a fire goes... I would be more worried about your wiring over power. Over powering a speaker will normally blow it out over time, but not ignite (to my knowledge). Make sure you run large enough power wires to your amps.. smaller wires will heat up too much due to the resistance in them when high current is passed through them. They can heat up enough to cause a fire. Also make sure to put inline fuses in. The one close to the battery on your main power wire is probably your most important. Also, that amp, is it 600Wrms or 600Wpeak and is it 600W total or per channel? Big difference. Somebody with more experience on multi-channel amps can probably help you out more; I'd imagine you should be fine though. Just pay attention to your speakers and stop cranking it up if they start to distort at all. [/QUOTE]
