Bronze Member Username: MrmikelazottIndependence, Oregon This one Post Number: 20 Registered: Dec-05 | im lookin at the polk audio db6750's, 100w rms @4 ohms. I was wondering if the polk audio momo carbon c300.2 amp, 150w rms x2 @ 4ohms would be too much power for these speakers?

JC123 Unregistered guest | I have an infinity kappa perfects 6.1 and I got a Hifonics amp to run it, is it ok to over power my component systems cause my amp is running at 170rms per channel and the perfects 6.1 only has 100wrms? |

Clipping is a product of user error, not under-powering. But 150w on a quality set of 100w speakers shouldn't be an issue - as long as (surprise, surprise) you set the gain correctly and use common sense with the volume knob. |
