[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 125038, member: 30"] Re: passive speaker amp matching There is no exact easy answer. I would argue that the "correct" answer lies somewhere between 1/2 continuous (or less) and peak power. This is around a 10dB range-which is HUGE. There are many many variables involved-type of music-alignment done-operator skill and so forth. However for a "generally safe" answer-I suggest somewhere between continuous and twice continuous. But that does not guarantee you will not damage the loudspeaker. Limiters can help-but are simply a measure of protection. Just like air bags. They can help keep you same in case of an accident-but if you drive your car off a cliff-don't expect the air bags to save you------------------ [/QUOTE]
