[QUOTE="Andrew Welker, post: 56827, member: 1668"] Re: Mythbusting John, you are correct, in that under-powering a system in and of itself does not lead to failures, if it is operated correctly. What generally happens though, is that whoever is driving the system doesn't understand this and pushes the level too high, as you mentioned. Wouldn't this lead to clipping in places that could potentially lead to failures? I think I was wrong in using the sub amp as an example, since you are correct that they will generally handle much more power than a tweeter. However, won't the same issue cause failure of a tweeter? I am learning here too, so I apologize for the simplistic explanations. [/QUOTE]
