Am I going to blow the Gallo A'divas


Hi all,
I am in the process of building a gallo surround sound system. I have 3.0 in front, Ref AV center for center, and I would like to put the A'divas in the rear. My concern though is they will be hooked up to an Emotiva XPA-3 which outputs 300 watts into 4ohms. I will be crossing over the a'divas at 80hz but am I just asking to blow these or can they handle it?

I agree with the above post...Low power amps driven into clipping cause excessive distortion, which is what does the most damage to drivers. With 300 w.p.c on tap, and setting the crossover going into the amp at 80hz, it is very unlikely that you will damage the speakers at any sane level.
