A NOTE ON POWER HANDLING

Kappa Marine speakers are designed to produce reasonable volume levels with little amplifier power. However, the addition of an amplifier to drive your speakers and a sub- woofer will enhance the dynamic range of your system, and help overcome ambient noise. Kappa Marine speakers are designed to handle the power of a dedicated amplifier driven at or below its rated power. If an amplifier is driven far above its rated power, the output signal will “clip,” and the additional power present in a clipped signal can dam- age any speaker. Distorted or “fuzzy” sound from your speakers is an indication that the amplifier has exceeded its rated power, and you should reduce the volume level.
