Question Under Powering Infinity Kappas?

I was just wondering.... using a 5 channel amp with 40 watts going to each of four Infinity Kappas in my S'Crew (150 to the sub) at 4 ohms.... would the Kappas be underpowered? They're rated from 8 to 70 watts, so I would be just over halfway to the rms peak.

what amp is it?

40watts to them should be fine. If it's 40 *clean* watts with no distortion thats even better.

40w rms is just fine grumps. As long as when you aren't distorting the speaks when the volume is up. distortion is what will kill a speaker
