you need atleast a 125 rms per channel to get your ears to start hurting. atleast that is what seems to get mine to start. like i can take my 100 rms just fine but a freind has a 125 rms amp and i can say that kinda of hurts your ears with 4 of them.

higher frequencies will have your ears ringing with a lot less power than it takes for lower frequencies...be careful with those highs...

ringing can be caused by much lower volume if it's badly distorted

that and this is a bad question to ask because people can probelly take a different amount of watts then the guy next to them.

I can listen to fairly loud undistorted music ..... unfortunately that's VERY hard to find.

I bet that 50w x 4 is the max rms, that deck ain't puttin' out that much power every second.

Amp your speakers, whatever they are, and turn up the highs from the equalizer on your deck, whatever it is. Cranking the sub volume won't hurt either (well, it hurts, but you get what i mean:wink: ).
