Set your gains correctly, and you'll have no issues. I run 167WRMS to 15 watt midrange drivers.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Sorry - that's a power-factor thing. Weak hearing.

[ I refrain from the old and sad and AMPle repetition of old puns - they are reVOLTing, but once every generation (no pun!) I may slip the odd one in (the odd to remain harmonious with the squares. ]

Oi - I'm being series-ous!

But now, back to current things...

The volume control on the headunit can be used for that purpose. :)
