Hey All,
May seem like a kinda stupid question, but I was wondering if there was a way to tell for sure that you're not driving too much power to the speaker. Obviously to keep an amp from clipping you'd want an amp that is rated higher power than your speakers handle...However, I've never had an amp that is more powerful than the speakers. And I have heard, I dunno how true it is, but it seems clausible, that you want to run an amp at about 3/4 power...or at least more than 1/2. But is there a way to tell that you are at the speakers max (or close to it)...I mean, BEFORE the smoke comes rolling out of them? Or do you just have to pretty much guess at it and hope you don't go over??
