Car Stereos: Subwoofers, car stereo, amplifier

Question
Hi Justin, I recently purchased an amp and subwoofers, my amps bass settings are not at max, i was wondering if i could set my car stereo settings at max bass safely without blowing the subwoofers?

Answer
Hi Cameron,

I wouldn't suggest it.  Usually max puts the amplifier above and beyond its reasonable capabilities.

Turn it up until you get good clean town that's not distorted.  Once it starts to distort, you're stressing things.  If that's not loud enough, then you'll need to buy a new amplifier and maybe subwoofers to get what you want.
