Disregard post.

I give mine about 25 watts over. Some comp's take a good amount over rated power to brighten up and shine. Companies don't reccomend this because with that amount of poweer it takes control not to cook the crap out of them. You would be suprised take a look at a SQ winning car next time and I would bet that the rms on his front stage is almost doubled according to manufactured spec's.

They said 100 watts, which is what they're rated for.. I wanted to put 225 or so to each one, though :P

I figured I could keep the gain set low, never crank the bass for the comps.. but eh I dunno I suppose I'll run them at 60-70 watts instead..
