    All I was saying is if you are going to buy extra power, cough up the extra cash and gte more power cause it's not going to hurt.

    All of you make good points....and more power won't hurt,unless,you think because you have some extra horsepower,you can crank on that volume knob like there's no limit.The fact that he himself stated he turned up the volume...way way up,scares me into thinking if he gets more watts,what do you think is going to happen?
    Quality not quantity when it comes to wattage.If you just like to look at wpc,then you are grossly misinformed.Are there high wattage amps of good quality,sure are.You'll have to lay out some cash for those monsters.Like I said before,volume is the key word here,distortion is the key killer of any audio gear.Understanding what your speaks need,what your amps can and can't do,all comes with the territory of audio.Get your read on if you do not get this.
