[QUOTE="Carl Klinkenborg, post: 213907, member: 12770"] Steve, if you asked five different engineers, you would get five difference answers, but no, it's the other way around. I always try to use an amplifier of about double the speaker rating. eg. I use a 1000W amp on my 450W 10" mids, and I have never used an amplifier turned up to '10'. My experience is that amplifier output is usually optimistic, so as in the old engine tuning adage 'There's no replacement for displacement'! [/QUOTE]
