[QUOTE="Fudged Undies, post: 534764, member: 57548"] To clarify, the underpower issue is one of poor/improper amp tuning (read distortion) not actually due to underpowering the sub. These are two extremely different things. Saying that underpowering a sub will cause damage would mean that when you are listening to your system at a level that permits conversation, your subis being underpowered, so damage should follow. Obviously, this isn't accurate or correct. Underpowering can lead to damage due to distortion via pushing the amp beyond it's means, yes, but underpowering itself does no harm to any speaker. Hence the bigger amp being an advantage. <font color=red> Edit: Even having a sufficiently powered amp can have the same effect as the underpowered amp, if the tuning isn't correct. The output voltage of your headunit should match the input voltage of your amp. This isn't so important if you don't push your equipment very hard, but for the most part Kicker Solo aren't sound quality woofers, they're more for volume. Hence proper amp tuning, (read correct gain adjustment). The gain nob is not just a volume nob. </font> [/QUOTE]
