[QUOTE="71buickfreak, post: 2602436, member: 8373"] I prefer to overdrive speakers rather than underdrive them, as a distorted power signal will burn up a voice coil faster than too much power. This methodology requires restraint, however, and I set up my gain structures with an oscilloscope. For the average customer, I would just stick with what we have here, as you don't know who is going grab the knob and twist it! Just like engines- 120 horsepower will get you 75 mph, 500 will get you there faster, but there potential for disaster if you just hang it open. Droberts- you ever play around with transmission line designs? Back in my competition days, I was working on a T-line for my dB drag racing vehicle. I phased out my competition vehicle after I started working for Rockford Fosgate, so I never went much further with it, but I think about draggin that stuff out every once in a while. I was running 1/4-wave in my convertible, tuned at 50 hz. Boom. Bada Boom. Big Bada Boom... [/QUOTE]
