Component Power Handling


Recommended Posts

I am looking for components (6.5 - 6.75 X tweeters) that have higher power handling. Am I f*^ked in the head for thinking that higher RMS handling equates to higher dB? I have RF T600-4 to run components and I want to get the most out of my amp and components system. Which components do you guys use and at what RMS power (size of amp) for your systems?

I typically throw 1.5-3x the RMS rating to my components... Gives me headroom to keep the sound clean and loud.

headroom..... please explain? How do you keep from blowing the components? volume control...amp gains calibration? i have a RF T600-4 to run front and rear components in my '04 Yukon and most of the shops are telling me that the amp is to big for any of their recommended component systems...
