overlap setting for an amp that under powers mids

[Goomz]

Hey ive tried to search, but no avail to my question. Most questions are actually opposite of what i'm asking.  I have a regular dd-1 and my overlap is set to -5db on my mids. My amp outputs 140 watts@ 2 ohms each channel, which is what my mids are wired to. (I have two 4 ohm speakers ran in parallel on each side of the car; the front and rear lefts together, and front and rear rights together), so thats  280 watts each side... Can i safely change my overlap to -10 or -15 db to achieve more output, or would this just destroy my speakers?

If you want more power, then you need to buy more power. Setting gain overlap is meant to accommodate the level of attenuation in music. It doesnt create power. A gain overlap of -10dB on a song that is only attenuated to -5dB is going to be sending a beautiful square wave to your speakers.

I havent been on. Update. Upgraded my amps from skar amps to crescendo, doubling the power. Added a 2nd battery as well. Happy with the decision
