Subwoofer under powered

Shea Burleson Bronze Member Username: Sb052287 Dallas, Texas USA Post Number: 54 Registered: May-07	Posted on Saturday, January 17, 2009 - 14:34 GMT If i have two 12" Rockfordfosgate P3S's and the max out at 400 RMS and they are getting only 282 watts RMS each, then would they sound distorted at high volumes?

You may not be using the subs potential but you're not hurting them either at that wattage. Just don't try to compensate by gaining the sh1t out of it or bass boosting.

The problem is when people want more volume from their speakers, instead of getting a bigger amp, they crank the gains up, which causes the amp to clip, and you hear distortion, and damage the speakers.
