Overpowering Speakers


Am I in any danger sending 300+ WPC to a speaker rated for about a buck twenty? (120rms)

Or are their other factors like efficiency etc?

Tim - Not sure I've ever heard things explained quite like you did there, but if it makes sense to you and Audio381 I guess that'll work.

Audio8381 - If you have a 300w amp, you're not sending 300 watts to the speakers unless you turn the volume up to max (and even then, not really). As long as you don't play too loud you'll be fine. The speakers will tell you - When they start to sound like crap, it's too loud.
