I have been reading about alot of components, and have posted asking opinions.

I am kinda liking the look of the Pioneer Premier TS-C520PRS.

The only problem I have is that I have a MRPF450 which puts out 75Watts RMD and the Max RMS rating of the speakers is 30 Watts...

Yet, there are MANY people out there saying they have these speakers amped up to 100Watts RMS and even Pioneers own website says they are designed to be amped...

Am I missing something?

 

you only need to worry about the gains on the amp, and the volume **** on the HU... if both are used correctly, then you won't have a problem pushing 75w into each speaker.

The problem is how you are interpreting the specs. Max RMS is not the rating, they are 2 different things. For some unknown reason, pioneer doesn't even mention RMS in speaker specs.

From the pioneer website:
Specifications
Watts MAX. Music Power 150 Watts
Watts Nominal Power Handling 30 Watts

My opinion, (everybody has one): I've used a lot of different pioneer speakers and they'll sound best with amp RMS inbetween nominal and max.
I use a pioneer 5100T amp for each door. Instead of stereo, i run bi-amp, high-low, to each component 125 rms. My door speakers are MBQ RCE-216 rated 60-130. And, since i like loud, thats not enough to keep up with the subs and 6x9's. My pioneer 6x9's are rated 80 nominal, 420 max music and i run a bridged 5100T 380 wrms, on each.

I think the 75 watts is not enough, but like i said, everybody has an opinion.....
I've said before in other forums, the trick is to never-ever hit clipping or you'll kill speakers.
