sierra amplification

[ccotenj]

trying to get an idea of what others are using...

if i gave them a legitimate 85 wpc, am i shortchanging? not a large room, and they'll be crossed over at 80 (i like subs )...

thanks in advance

Hi ccotenj, 85watts RMS sounds good to me.Your Sierras will be quite happy.

[ccotenj]

thanks. i don't want to underpower them, but i also don't see the need to have a bunch of power on tap that never gets used either. just because a speaker will TAKE 200 rms, doesn't mean it NEEDS 200 rms...

i'm only going to be sitting about 10 feet away from them...

thanks again...

You can use the Peak SPL Calculator to figure out how many watts you really want.
