[Amps] me not an idiot

[Doug Renwick]

Dave,

That is a very, very poor example and illustrates your flawed thinking.
You drive a car that is capable of going over the speed limit because
you drive over the speed limit or where there is no speed limit.  You
also need that extra speed in order to safely pass another vehicle.
Both these reasons show why you use an amp that is capable of an output
greater than what your licence states ... because you normally run it
over the limit and you crank it up even more when you really want to be
heard.

Doug

I'll run the race and I will never be the same again.

I am that idiot.  I drive a car that's capable of 160mph even though the
sped limit here is 70mph.  I engineer towers so that they'd withstand
150mph winds even though the most we get here is 70mph.  

Get the drift? It's called over engineering.  Safety margin.  Firms from
Collins to Mercedes Benz made their name by doing it.  So far I haven't
blown a car/amplifier up and no towers have blown into the Trent....

I await the flames with interest :-)
