Speakers blow because of distortion (bad signal, clipping, wrong frequencies) not overpowering (except in extreme cases).



hehe, thats so not true. a few months ago, i decided to start playing w/ test tones. my front stock components are rated 15w. i played a 1khz test tone @ 0db... gain on my amp was about halfway, and it outputs 50w/channel. i had the empeg at -10db , and i start smelling something burning...

well, on a happier note, i finally replaced my fronts w/ 2 CDT-HD62 speakers. i'm loving the mid-bass of these things.
