My current options for amplifiers are :<br /><br /> Alpine PMX-F640 -50W RMSx4 <br />Soundstream Tarantula TX4.560 -100W RMSx4 <!--emo&:hehe:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/brows.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='brows.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /><br /><br />The problem being if I choose Morel Tempo 6 or Alpine SPR60C I fear I might under power the speakers and cause clipping if I choose Soundstream Tarantula TX4.560. Whereas if I choose either Pioneer D1720C or Alpine DDl-RT17S and pair it with Soundstream Tarantula Tx4.560 I will be over driving them. I know that over powering is better than under powering but still over powering can damage the speaker in long run. So , I need someone with experience to help me out here. <!--emo&:help:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/icon_question.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='icon_question.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /><br />Thanks&#33; <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> karsna8 ICE Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:22:31 +0800
