I guess with a big amp and the bass turned up to +10 you could probably do some pretty good damage -- but again the bigger risk is driving the amp into clipping and frying a midrange or tweeter as a result. When you run in "small" the amp doesn't have to carry those low signals so less power is required, ie you can play louder without clipping...

Quote from Alan; "Don't worry about power handling with either the M80ti's of M60s. Each will handle large amounts of input power. The "maximum amp power" figures on our site for those particular models are very conservative."
So. How big an amp do you mean?
Sounds like a Sunfire 300-2 would not be a problem.

Thanks for the replies. I've been running my 60's as large now for a couple of days and it sounds good, but I don't push too hard. ( I don't want to clip the denon 4802r).
Maybe one of those outlaw bass management systems are in order!
Have yet to raise the M 60's yet.... on my days off...
Thanks again

Just a guess, but unless you have bass boosted a lot via eq or tone controls I think your ears will give out before the 4802 runs out of power. You mostly do driver damage when the system is playing so loud that you can't make out the sound quality any more... that's what you want to avoid.
