Do many of you all run overpowered amps compared to RMS speaker recommendations?
I mean, buy an amp rated for 120w rms at 4ohms, but speaker only recommends 80w rms.
I can see the benefit of not running an amp full tilt, cleaner signal, but then also running the risk of an accidental max volume incident.
If you all do run this way, how much over (% wise) do you normally go? Asking as 4 channel amps like the 4|10 are 120x4. 6.5" can eat that up, but 1"....I guess you control that with gain?
Sorry for being so basic.
