Gives the cleanest best sound while also not risking your speakers. Of course to each his own. I'm one to have my speakers not be pushed too hard than to have them being pushed to their limits constantly.
The question is, will he actually push it hard all the time? Thats a fair amount of power to be listening to everyday all the time. I would imagine it would do pretty good hearing damage pretty quick in the defined space of a car. I could see how it would be important at concerts where everything is being pushed very hard all the time. Also how do does differing box sizes/ types and overratting/ underrating of amps and speakers come in to play? Im just curious.
