[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 122396, member: 67"] Re: matching amp with speakers You probably won't blow up anything if you keep the amps out of hard clipping. If the clip light flashes only on peaks you'll probably be okay. The bigger question should be "will this combination of speakers and amp get loud enough for my uses?" Watts are a measure of energy being transferred, i.e. work being done (or heat being generated). You don't "send" Watts to a speaker, you send voltage, which results in movement of the voice coil in the magnetic gap. The Wattage rating for an amplifier is how much energy is available to sustain the motion caused by the application of voltage. [/QUOTE]
