heh - I do it too....probably because you can think better

if you double the power to it....that doesn't mean it is going to get much louder. Infact, it wilil only get just noticeably louder. 3db infact. I would've left it at 75wrms.

live and learn...live and learn. eh?

as for making it clearer..wel, I highly doubt that as well!

By doubling your power output you COULD be adding more distortion into the equation. I'm not to familiar with that amp but it is a very strong possibility.

You're right, I mostly wanted them to just get louder, but they sounded fine at 75 watts.

I'm not really dissapointed that i blew the speaker, because now i have the opportunity to try out a new pair. I've been wanting to hear the OZ's for a while, so now i'll have my chance.

well, iut all worked out well in the end right?

Yup. I ended up ordering a Nine.2X (instead of the Nine.4) only because i got a sweet deal on it ($200 shipped), so i'll be pushing 200 X 2 @ 4 ohms to the OZ's. They are rated at 200 watts peak and 100 rms, so they should be able to handle the power.
